How to stop text converting to multimedia message MMS on Samsung

When you are trying to send out a normal text message (SMS) and it gets automatically changed to MMS? If this happens on your Samsung Galaxy phone, we are going to teach you how to fix this issue for good.

As you may know, text messages or SMS are usually included for free and unlimited but most carriers charge out for MMS, so it’s not a good idea that you keep sending MMS

How to change MMS Setting on Galaxy

To avoid the phone changing from SMS to Multimedia Picture Message or MMS. Follow these simple steps:

On your Galaxy phone, go to the Messages app, you shouw now see three little dots (menu options), tab on that and then select Settings. Now Go to Text messages and Select Input Mode. From this menu, there will three options:

GSM Alphabet, which is limiting to only normal characters to be allowed in text messages, this will give you 160 chars per message.

Unicode, which sets it to allow special characters and Emojis, this will ilmit the message to a maximum of seventy characters.

Automatic, this is normally the default option, as the phone will determine whether it is an SMS or MMS based on t he content that is included in the message, however if the phone is doing it in a wrong way or you dont want it to switch to MMS, you can change the option to Alphabet

After you save the options, you should be able to send normal text without the phone changing it automatically.

No Sim Error on iPhone. Are you getting an error on your iPhone that says No SIM detected or installed? You have no Service, no Data on your iPhone? With this quick help guide, we can help you solve this issue in no time!

It is very common that in the iPhone (most of them, including iPhone 6, 7, 8, X, 11) that even though there is a sim card installed on your phone, the iPhone shows a message on the screen saying no SIM installed, and therefore, you dont get any service at all.

Before you run to a repair shop and have someone check it, we are giving you some easy and quick fix for the No Sim error, and you probably can fix it in a few minutes.

iPhone No Sim error – Bad Sim contact

the most common issue causing the no sim error on iPhone is that, the phone actually doesnt detect any sim installed. This is because sometimes the sim card is dusted and is creating a bad contact with the sim card reader installed on the phone.

To fix a bad sim contact issue, just remove the SIM and inspect for any dirt attached to the sim, try to clean it up with an eraser or a special electronic cleaner – or just use your nails, it will also work.

Once properly clean up, put the sim card back in the holder and reboot the phone, hopefully the no sim error is gone by now.

iPhone No Sim error – sim holder misalignment

sometimes the sim card holder can create a bad contact between the iPhone and the SIM, this is mainly caused by a bent sim holder, so it prevents the sim card from having a good contact with the phone

to fix a misaligned or bent sim card holder, try pusing it back to the straight, correct position with your fingers, if not you can use a small plier.

After getting the holder back in shape, try sliding the sim back in and reboot the phone.
