SMS center or SMSC number is tasked to handle SMS operations of a wireless network. When sending an SMS from your smartphone, that message will still be routed to the SMS center before it is forwarded to the recipient. What actually happens is that SMS messages are routed and regulated by the SMSC number.
Some SMS messages will remain in the SMS center, especially if the recipient is unavailable. When the recipient’s number is already active, that’s when the SMS center forwards the message.
There may also be some instances when a text message gets stuck on the SMS center due to network problems. This is usually what happens if signal issues or SIM card errors occur. When this happens, resetting the SMS center number can be deemed a potential fix. Just be sure to have the correct SMS center number from your network service provider beforehand.
Another way to verify if the message center number on your galaxy s20 is correct is to visit your service provider’s website and see if the numbers are the same. If the number is different, contact your carrier/service provider for further assistance.
Hope this helps!
