There might be a fault on the line. Check your telephone line is working properly.

You might have deleted the server number in error. See pages 55-56 for instructions on

Check service centre number is correct including 1470P prefix (this is for BT lines. If you
have another network provider please check the prefix number with them). In order to
send and receive text messages you must not withhold your number. If you normally
withhold your number the 1470 prefix presents your number for you.
Cannot receive text
•
More than one text messaging product is plugged into the line. Remove other products.

Check service centre number is correct.

Ensure you have subscribed to a Caller Display service and that it is active. You can
check this by noting if your phone displays your caller's number when you receive an
incoming call.
