SMS messaging usually works without any additional setup of the phone.
In rare cases when there are issues sending or receiving text messages, please look at the following:

Problem with Sending SMS:

• Incorrect SMSC number (SMS Service Center Address) in handset settings. It should be set to +3725099000 for Standard OneSimCard SIM. For Plus SIM used in USA or Canada the SMSC number should be set to +19402389940
  NOTE: It is important to have the "+" symbol entered in front of the SMSC number.
  You can find locations of the Message Settings menus for different phone models here.
• If your phone requires the name of Message Center Name enter: SMSC
• SMS lifetime is short - must be at least 2 hours or set to Maximum settings.
• Try sending SMS from OneSimCard menu

 Problem with Receiving SMS:

• Receiving Handset does not have enough free memory for incoming SMS.
• Receiving Handset was turned off or out of the coverage area during SMS lifetime set on the sending phone - usually 2 hours.
• Sender's SMS provider does not have an agreement with the receiving network.

There are two ways for SMS message to be sent:

• From the OneSimCard application menu called OneSimCard - TravelSMS. To send the message, you need to locate OneSimCard menu on the phone and then scroll down to TravelSMS menu. Sending text message this way is the least expensive and will cost you 15 cents per message from any country.
• Usual way from SMS sending menu of the phone. It cost 40 cents per text message from most countries with the exception of few countries where the rates are higher.
  Find detailed rate information here.

Bear in mind that sending SMS messages to the abbreviated special SMS destinations like voting, music downloads, etc. will cost you $9.00 per message.
