Hi,

I can send SMS just fine to all of my contacts, but today I wanted to particiapte in a contest which costs 50ct per SMS.

The receiver number is 40400, SMS content should be HAUS <cent number>
Both, the default SMS app and Google Messages does not send this message out.

Google Messages reformats the phone number and puts a 0 in front so it becomes 040400 and then it says can't send because invalid number format (well genious, you were the one put the 0 there) and stock sms just says cant sent.

Why is this?

I am from germany, and with my previous phone with same provider it worked fine.
From my mom's Galaxy Tab S3 it also works fine with both stock sms and google messages.

Wtf is wrong?
