Hi @Anonymous What sort of phone do you have?

Check you have the correct message centre number for PAYG

Open messages, settings and type in the message centre number :
Pay & Go       +447802092035

You could also take the sim out, gently clean, reinsert and reboot the phone

I would also check your network status http://status.o2.co.uk/  (though if everything else is working you should be fine

Hi @Anonymous

Go into text messages... then settings.. scroll down to text messages. click on that and the message centre number will be displayed there. If it's not as stated as above then you can change it manually ..

The message centre number is picked up off the sim so if you have the right sim the number will be correct.
How new is the sim?
If just activated give it 24 hours to settle down.
I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
