There might be a fault on the line. Check your telephone line is working properly.

Check service centre number is correct including 1470P prefix (this is for BT lines. If you
have another network provider please check the prefix number with them). In order to
send and receive text messages you must not withhold your number. If you normally
withhold your number the 1470 prefix presents your number for you.
Cannot receive text

You will not be able to receive text messages until you have first sent a message. The first
message sent registers you with the text service.
•
More than one text messaging product is plugged into the line. Remove other products.

Check service centre number is correct.

Ensure you have subscribed to a Caller Display service and that it is active. You can check
this by noting if your phone displays your caller’s number when you receive an incoming
call.
•
If you are using personal user areas please ensure you have given people your user area
number and that they are entering it to the end of your telephone number when sending
you a text message.
