Android: Set up a SMSC number

   SMSC number stands for Short Messaging Service Center Number. When a user sends any SMS, this SMS goes through a SMS service center before it is finally diverted to its destination. Think of SMS service centre as a gas station service stop on your way to your final destination. Since, SMS service centres are different for each service provider, service center number for each service provider will be different. If this number does not match with what you may see on the screen, one will have to contact customer/tech support to get the dialing sequence to set their SMSC number. One does not need the SMSC number set up to receive SMS. Without this SMSC number, one will not be able to send a single SMS!

Android: Unlock SIM using PUK code

Once you unlock your phone to all carriers, you will then be able to use a SIM card from any carrier! However, should your SIM be locked, you will need a PUK code. This code is for you to unlock your SIM card! SIM card does not get locked by itself but rather gets locked when one sets up a SIM Pin for their SIM card under their phone settings and enters that PIN incorrectly too many times! Usually, one gets prompted to enter their SIM PIN only after their phone had been inactive for quite some time or if they rebooted their device. Following are the steps to set up a SIM PIN and unlock your SIM using your PUK Code….
