What to do when your cellphone refuses to send and receive text messages

After a year and a half of using my Sony Ericsson P990i it suddenly lost the ability to send and receive text messages. Turning it off and on again resulted in an "MsvServer" error. Canceling this message sometimes lead to intermittent bursts of queued SMS's. I also receive a message saying the SIM card is already full even if I've erased much of its contents.

What worked was the suggestion of my friends who experienced the same problem.

The solution - MASTER RESET. Just make sure you've backed up all your contacts and other important data from your phone.

Master Reset is found in the Control Panel->Device menu.
