I have the Samsung Galaxy S III and I have been having an issue with Handcent SMS for quite awhile. When I select one of my contacts for a text message when I go to send the text it removes the area code and thus I get the error notification that the text could not be sent because the area code is missing. I have the area code set and saved in my contacts for all the contacts in my phone but Handcent removes them. I downloaded Chomp SMS and that works fine. My previous phone was the HTC EVO V 3G and it did it on that as well. Thanks in advance for everyone's help!!
