SMS Error: Requested facility not implemented

Recently using a Blackberry 8100 on O2. After two days it stopped
sending SMS texts giving the above message. I can receive texts, make
calls, receive calls. Have swapped my SIM with another O2 SIM. My SIM
texts fine in the other phone, the spare SIM gives the same message in
the Blackberry. Dreading that this is a hardware issue, so hoping for
a "tweak" somewhere in the settings?

He didn't want you to say "it was alright before you touched it"

They are sometimes faulty but 99% of the time, it's always been f***ed
around with by the user, in my experience. ;-)

Glad it's sorted.
