Fixing a Galaxy S20 that cannot Send Text Messages or SMS
Still Cannot Send a Text Message on your Galaxy S20?
The above procedures are usually good enough to eliminate random system issues that can adversely affect the SMS messaging functions of the phone. If none of them works and you still cannot send a text message, check the Message center number on your phone.
An SMS centre number serves as the primary code/key to hand SMS operations of a wireless network. The SMS centre will forward the SMS message to the destination, thus it’s main function is to route and regulate SMS messaging process.
To access and edit the Message Centre number on your galaxy s20, just open the Messages app and then tap the Menu icon to view quick options. From the given options, tap Settings-> More settings-> Text Messages. In this menu you should see the Message centre number information for you to modify, if necessary.
To verify if the message centre number on your phone is correct, consulting your wireless carrier or service provider would be necessary. You can ask the customer care to edit the message centre number on your phone for you or get the correct information and modify the one on your phone by yourself.
Remounting the SIM is also a potential solution, especially if the underlying cause is a corrupted or dislodged SIM card in the tray.
Also, don’t forget to check your account status. Account-related issues are also among the possible reasons as to why incoming and outgoing services aren’t working as intended.
Hope this helps!
