@amamdouh0 Seems you will need to do some experiments in order to completely understand the situation. Some suggestions:

  1. try your PM SIM in a different unlocked phone
  2. try a different carrier SIM in your phone
  3. force an update of the message centre number:

    • Go to Settings

    • Then go to Mobile networks and select a network other than Public Mobile, Telus, or Koodo

    • When you exit the menu the phone should lose the network.

    • Repeat the process and select Public Mobile as your mobile network.

     

If you confirm the problem resides with PM's service open a trouble ticket. To obtain a ticket, click on https://publicmobile.ca.ada.support/chat/ and enter your question in SIMon. Follow / invent the prompts until you reach the Contact Us button, click on it and a Submit Ticket button should appear. To confirm that your ticket has been submitted, check the SEND box in your private messages; click on the small envelope next to your avatar at the top right of your screen.

 

If you have problems submitting a ticket, you can also send a private message to the moderators, but this alternative contact method may have a longer response time. Click: https://productioncommunity.publicmobile.ca/t5/notes/composepage/note-to-user-id/22437

 

As a workaround you, and your friends, could all install the same texting app; Whatsapp, Signal, Telegram, Facebook messenger, etc.

@amamdouh0 If you reply to message they have sent, do those also fail?

Do all sms fail, or just long messages?

@amamdouh0 @Jb456 

 

I would just use +20 or +966 and then the rest of the number. That seems simpler to me.

Are you texting those countries correctly? You have to use the dial out code/country codes.

 

  1. 011 - Exit code for Canada, and is needed for making any international call from Canada.
  2. 20 - ISD Code or Country Code of Egypt.
  3. Area code - There are 29 area codes in Egypt.

..........

Saudi Arabia from Canada. Step 1: Exit code – 011. Your international phone number should start with Canada exit code. Step 2: Country code – 966.
