Nokia 3230

[spiral out]

My friend has had this phone for nearly a year and all of a sudden it will no longer send text messages, it always says message sending failed, has anyone heard of nokia phones doing this? Is there anyway to repair it myself or is just better to bin it and buy a new phone? We are not sure if it is under warranty as she was given it for doing some reserch.

Have you checked the message centre number in setting?

Thats usually what causes this problem.

Type in *#7370# from the idle screen. It'll wipe all data on the C: drive, but will not touch anything on your memory card.
