can't send specific text message
I'm trying to text the following link and while my phone indicates the message was sent, the receiver never gets it. If I use AT&T the message sends fine.
How do I turn off the censorship feature?
Wow! Texting is such an important form of communication nowadays so it can be extremely frustrating when messages are not going through. T-Mobile does not censor content and we want you to feel free to share information with others. There have been times when links from different websites are flagged as spam incorrectly. We absolutely want to address that and remove those reputable sites from any spam lists. The best way to make that happen is to reach out to us by calling in, messaging through the app or website, or sending us a message of Facebook or Twitter. With the information you provide, our customer support teams can file reports to our engineering teams to get everything straightened out.
Have you tried a different SMS app?
I just sent the link in the Google stock sms app and Textra app with no issue so it’s not censorship from Tmobile.
Which SMSC/Message Center number does your SIM use? Mine is set to +12063130004. Am curious if yours is the same.
The same but I have a comma a 3 more numbers at the end and also it’s greyed out so it can’t be changed..
The additional 3 numbers at the end specify what format the number is in. It's either 145 or 129. Most likely 145.
Maybe it's customer specific. I have three new lines with this problem. Same issue if I send SMS directly by issuing appropriate modem commands. It's not app dependent, a setting, or something internal to the phone.
I am observing T-Mobile censor my texts and would like them to stop.
I am also observing this issue.
Edit: Support has opened an engineering case
Now the reddit thread has been removed.
I’m also unable to send a hyperlink to https://odysee.com/ to several other T-Mobile users.
Update: Now able to send https://odysee.com/ link to another T-mobile user, but https://www.canadiancovidcarealliance.org/media-resources/the-pfizer-inoculations-for-covid-19-more-harm-than-good-2/ is still not going through.
