I excitedly picked up my new VODAFONE SIM, and plugged it in my iphone, Instantly i got strong signal, could call, receive calls and receive SMSs. I cannot not seem to send SMS.

I called tech support and they said it is a known issue with IPHONES. Does anyone have a solution? Thanks.

Sending SMS on my iPhone with Vodafone sim is now working. Maybe the steps I'd mentioned and followed yesterday did it for me. It's kinda a day delayed but it doesn't matter now. The importang thing is I now can send sms.

Just follow the steps on this thread and wait...

About the 3.0 update, I did not advised it for every_mother's in order to send sms. Every_mother's mentioned about text forwarding which is not possible in old firmwares but it is now in 3.0 firmware.

Mine wasn't sending SMS at first, but it is working now - i'm not sure if they just fixed the problem, or i called them last week (111) and they gave me a number to type in to activate the SMS. I tried that but it didn't work at the time, and it is working now, no idea if they just fixed the iphone problem, or if that number eventually worked?!

SMS is working from all iPhone software versions on Vodafone Qatar's network, you don't need firmware 3.0.

To every_mothers, you can now forward SMS messages with the 3.0 firmware. You just need to upgrade.

I have the same problem, can't send SMS on iPhone using Vodafone sim. I've tried everything I know (restoring, network resetting,etc.) but to no avail. With Qtel sim, SMS is perfectly working.

I'd also followed instruction on this thread, but can't seem to have it work for me.

Please anyone who has the answer to this problem, kindly let us know.
