Koodo: Unable to send text messages
I finally managed to resolve my text messaging issue so thought I’d share it here:
Provider: Koodo
Phone: Motorola W385
Issue: Could not send text messages. Was able to receive. Error message “Failed to send”
Resolution:
1. Dial *22803
2. Select 1 for English
3. Select 2 for upgrade PRL (Preferred Roaming List)
Alternate Resolution:
I didn’t try this but apparently if you know your Service Code you can go to:
Koodo Programming Instructions for the W385

Thanks, this worked for me too! I have no idea why there was the issue in the first place, but this resolved it, so thank you.

THANKS! This was really helpful!
I thought at first that Koodo was being vindictively vengeful about a late payment, but found nothing about this kind of punishment on their website. Glad to see they’re not that immature…haha.

This solution was successful for me also.
