Ok. So this is what I have noticed these past couple of weeks messing with all these settings. Our CDMA phones are meant mainly to be used in the US. so most of us never have to do anything to these settings as they are pushed to us once our phones are setup initially. Since i'm in Europe now, i've been using the local sim cards on this phone. Voice should work right away cuz the phone will recognize that you're no longer in US and there's a sim card freshly inserted. The phone would prompt you to start in global mode. But you can always change that to GSM only if you wish. I haven't noticed any differences between GSM only and Global. And those phone settings are actually found in two places that somewhat refer to each other but in some instances they don't. When you go to Command Manager, I'm sure you guys can see the Phone button just above bluetooth. If you click on the change phone settings, it will lead you to Phone settings. But if you click the right bottom softkey under comm. manager ,"settings", and select phone, that brings up another list of phone settings. The second one is the same as if you were to access the settings from the dialpad. The place to change or input text msg routing number is under the first Phone settings. It is at the top of the list once you're in. When you're in the second phone settings, you can see CDMA as well as GSM. But only one will show at one time. So for me, I CDMA is grayed out right now and I can only access GSM settings. From here, you can see all your system settings from the provider and change them.
To answer teradog: the reason you don't see it is because you're in the second phone setting as described above. Since you're still in the US, you should only see CDMA settings and GSM settings grayed out. Follow the first phone setting, you should be able to see the text msg center setting.
To answer bteljuice: You can change the service center number if you wish once you're there. And you can see that it's + 1 514 xxx xxxx for you. And the correct setting should always start with + then country code. for example, US' country code is 1 so it's +1 then zip code then phone number. And the same follows for europe, for example, UK is 44 so it should be +44 (zip)+(phone number).
Hopefully this makes sense to you. I am not even sure if I am making sense at this point.
