Why SMS messages are not sent: 6 common reasons and comprehensive answers why the phone does not send SMS

Many people widely use social networks to communicate with each other. Others consider SMS messages over the phone to be a convenient and fast way of transferring information. But what if sms are not sent or do not reach the addressee?

1. Top up your mobile account

Make sure you have enough money on your phone account. If there is not enough funds, the message will not be sent. It is important for users of contract numbers to find out if the service is connected to the number.

2. Specify the number of the SMS center (message center) for MTS, Life, Kyivstar, Beeline

The reason for the problems of SMS sending is that the number of the message center is not (or incorrectly) set. Go to the phone settings, check if the SMS center number is correct. If there is a discrepancy, change the number manually. To set up your message center number, go to message settings on your phone.

On Android they are located in the Messages application, and for iPhone and Windows Phone - in the settings of the smartphone itself. It is necessary to select and, if necessary, change the number. Here are the numbers of message centers of the main mobile operators in Ukraine:

  • MTS (Jeans, Ecotel) - +38050000501
  • Kyivstar (djuice, Mobilich) - +380672021111
  • life :) - +380639010000
  • Beeline - +380683201111
