I got this phone as a present 2 weeks ago and it was locked to at&t. I bought an unlock code through the internet so i could use it here in the Philippines. It was successfully unlocked, however, the (local) sim i was using during the procedure cannot send sms. I could make calls and receive texts/calls, but whenever i attempt to reply or send a message, an error message would pop, saying, "Your text message cannot be sent" --no details, whatsoever. But when i tried to use my boyfriend's sim card (we have the same carrier, btw), it didn't have the problem of sending messages. i don't get it? i know, i could just get a new sim card to end my problem but i don't wanna give up my number.. is there any other way to deal with this problem without changing sim?
i forgot to mention, when my sim card was inserted to this phone, there's a *1* icon at the top of the screen that says multiple line when i tap it. i guess it means i'm using line 1. BUT, when my boyfriend's sim card was in used (same carrier, same type, only different number as mine), there wasn't an icon.. it makes me suspect that, that must have something to do with my problem. so, how do i get rid of it?
I'M AN ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING STUDENT,, SO, YES BLT-A-HOLE, I MIGHT BE A NERD. OR, IT'S JUST FRUSTRATING FOR ME TO NOT FIGURE IT OUT DESPITE THE FACT THAT THIS SHOULD BE PART OF MY FIELD, THAT'S WHY I ASKED HERE.
