Experiencing issues with sending or receiving SMS on your Vi network? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Many Vi users have faced similar problems and the solution may be simpler than you think. It could be due to an incorrect Message Centre Number (MCN). The Vi Message Centre (SMSC) number is essential for routing text messages correctly.
