Now that the 21st. century is well established I have down graded to a
gifted Alcatel *one touch* mobile phone! My grandchildren sport the
latest i phones but this does all I need and has a good battery
performance.

However, I have managed to corrupt the contact number for
sending/replying to SMS messages.
A *factory reset* has not fixed this.

I don't have a manual and the one offered on-line does not help.

Any suggestions?

Who is your service provider? Most have the required api settings available
on line for you to manually enter.

Vodafone!
api settings?
Display of ignorance level:-(


If its not a smart phone it probably doesnt have api settings. ;-)

This might help.


How do I set up text messages?

Text messaging should be ready to go as soon as your phone's connected. If
it doesn't work straight away, there are two settings to check:

Message centre number - +447785016005
Message format - this should be set to text
You can test it by sending a text to 9770. We'll text you back if it's
working.
