Q: iPhone 5 can't send SMS - gets an error when sending SMS

People - I'm using a Sprint iPhone 5 with my local GSM chip. Everything works fine, except sending SMS.

 

All basic troubleshooting has been done: checked SMS settings, erased Network Settings, checked SMS Service # through *#5005*7672# and it is fine, restored the phone and re-checked everything above again... and nothing. :-(

 

Please help?

iPhone 5, iOS 6, Sprint model (A1429), GSM Network

    Just call Apple Support in USA, if you are out of US use any Internet calling service, give them all the info about your phone, mine took less than 12 hours.

    Yes I guess that this will be the solution the problem is that I am not signed as developer therefor I cannot download or install the beta versions...I have tried to install beta 6.1 beta 1 on my iPhone 5 and when I turned on the phone it said that this phone is not signed as developer phone so therefor I cannot use it...if you have a solution to tell me where to download the beta's and how to bypass that issue which says I am not a dev I would be great full if not it still ok no hard feelings

    Hi. same question, how to download the ios 6.1 beta 2 if im not a developer? I had my iphone 5 a month ago. I also could not send any sms, i always follow this forum to solve my sms problems. I tried contacting apple support but they insist that its a local network carrier problem. I called my network carriers and was told that i dont have any problems with them, done almost everything except for downloading 6.0.1 beta 2.anyone, please explain in details how to download it?

    Hello everyone!

    I've got full-price unlocked iPhone 5 and now I'm using Turkish carrier Turkcell and I'm not able to send SMS. I get an error all the time. I can make and receive calls, browse the Internet, send and receive MMS, even can receive SMS, but can't send SMS.

    I tried to activate iPhone with Sprint nanoSIM which was included with the iPhone, but also got an error. it only activates with my local carrier,  so this solution doesn't work for me (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4459)

    Also i called Sprint and my carrier turkcell but they both said that they have nothing to do,

    Apple call center says they have nothing to do.

    All people says, call this call that we have nothing to do

    when i read this forum, i understood that its about Apple, not carrier, but Apple still says call sprint

    what a shame,

     

    Simply a phone = receive & send calls and sms,

    iphone 5 even can't send sms so how can we call this technology?

     

    i spent too much money, too much time, and got a big zero.

    in the end, İphone 5 will be my last Apple product
