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

Open message settings and look at the settings. Turn off message bulletins or message headers.

@YJS 

Is there a character set option?

If so, choose unicode.
