Over the last week or so incoming texts and picture messages have been taking ages (up to 3 days at worst!) arriving. Tonight sending seems to be hit and miss, one message will send OK, the next will fail with a "Sending Failed, User Barred" or "Sending Failed - No Network" message (can't be barred, otherwise all messages would fail?) WAP (GPRS) and voice calls (remember them?? ) are working fine.

Logical answer is a service failure, but I can't fine any info about service outages anywhere on o2 site, and googling for the status messages shows some fairly old hits suggesting message settings are incorrect and/or no provisioning on ther network - neither is relevant as I can send and receive SOME messages and nothing has changed on the handset recently.

I'm on o2 Online Talkalot tariff (the one with 300 free texts per month).

One other very peculiar thing over the past two days which is probably related - after each SMS sends, the remaining balance is displayed on the handset. Thing is, for the last two days I've noticed that on a few occasions the credit balance has actually gone UP by between 10p and 60p!!

I'm with O2 online, and have been sending & receiving SMS without problems.

Thanks John. Not the answer I really wanted to hear though

I've tried shifting the SIM card from my SE K700i to Nokia 6230 and it sent OK on both SMS and MMS. Back in the SE, don't work again. I've even tried resending the configurator info but it's still hit and miss on when it will/will not send.

Going to try a different SIM in the K700 to see what happens, although that won't be conclusive as the only other live SIM I have is on Orange.

Orange SIM works OK in both fones.
O2 SIM works OK in 6230 but plays up in K700.

Will try sending settings yet again tomorrow, failing that an expensive call to O2 , for them to give me some drivel about the K700 not being supported on O2 online I suppose (which doesn't seen logical as it's been working OK until recently)

I've had problems with MMS ever since I had my T610. My last phone wored fine. But this one has NEVER worked, despite O2's best attempts to get it working.

I gave up in the end, and I'll be sorting it next month when I get my new phone.

Rubbish phone!
