Dialing *#*#4636#*#* brings up a troubleshooting/statistics menu page. Dial that and select Phone information and at the bottom you can enter the SMSC (Short Mail Service Center) number.

You need to scroll down the settings page...... Message Centre, but you need to input the PAYG number as posted above.

A big gold badge for jonsie there!

I'm a bit puzzled as MI5 showed it, unless he was using a different phone.

Mine is just stock unbranded JB 4.12 but it's always been there.... Strange one !!

My phone is the google nexus 4 which updated to JB 4.21 and one other significant difference my menu is black on white whereas yours is white on black-very strange! I can see others getting this problem of sms/mms.I also have a nexus7 running same firmware,yet there are some apps which will work on one but not the other.Once again thankyou all
