[jayer89]

hi i have a pay as you go dongle, when i top up with credit it gave me the 3gb allowence and also £1 credit. i assume this is to send text messages from but i keep getting the following message:

Please check:

- Your account allows you to send SMS (some Prepay services do not)

- The correct Service Centre number is selected in Settings

- The phone number is correct

- Your mobile device is available

- A mobile connection is available.

If this error persists, please contact Support at your

mobile network operator.

iv been into my local vodafone shop but they didnt know. they gave me the message service number to try but that didnt work either.

Hi jazer,

Firstly, a very warm welcome to the eForum Family, it's always great to see new faces on here .

Unfortunately, it's not possible to send SMS via prepay broadband which is why your messages are not being sent. You will be able to receive SMS though .
