Sent texts arriving as infomessage and not from my...

YJS · ‎16-04-2020

When I sent text to contacts it arrives to them as being from 'infomessage' and not from my number and they are unable to reply (sending message fails)

I have removed the SIM and restarted phone and they have removed /re added my contact details on their phone - no joy - texts from me still showing as being from infomessage on their phone.

I have a payg mobile

Any help appreciated

@YJS

Is there a character set option?

If so, choose unicode.
