150 text problem

Did you get this issue sorted out in the end as texting 150 gives me no replies or anything at all

The post you'd added to was quite an old one.

Can you explain more details on the issue you have with the 150 text service?

Welcome to the Community @ajfclsjc.

We've split your post into a separate thread so we can make sure the replies you get are all relevant to the issue you're experiencing 😊

Is it just texts to the 150 service that appear to not be working here, or are you struggling to send to other numbers as well?

It's worth trying to send a text to your own number and see if this comes back.

Originally was just 150 texts but now it's all SMS messages are not delivering. Including trying to SMS myself, RCS messages are unaffected

Are you in UK?

Can you make calls?

Yes I'm in UK and everything else seems to work fine can make phone calls and use mobile data tried looking for SIM settings but can't find it anywhere so can't check my message centre number.

Using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 14 4g phone

For sending texts, ensure your phone's Messaging app settings has the Message Centre no. setting for EE as +447958879879.

I can't even access the settings to change service centre kinda miss pre smartphone era when you could receive a text message and get the settings automatically sent and saved

It's the SMSC field.

Re: 150 text problem

ajfclsjc — Sat, 10 Jan 2026 13:04:47 GMT

Yes but it's shaded out/locked noting happens when click on it. I'll try calling 150

Thank you

If the SMSc field is the culprit, this will prevent your phone from sending any text messages. 150 won't give any response because nothing's being received, because nothing's being sent. I would expect there to be an error message when you try sending text messages.

Just to be clear on the potential root of the issue.

Weirdly no error message. I didn't even know it had stopped working till got a angry phone call from my dad asking why I've been ignoring him. He's in his 80s and got sausage fingers so no hope of using a smartphone and he's only person I SMS
