    I don't think the iPhone has a place in the settings that allows you to change any of those settings.

    Since SMS settings (along with some other settings) are usually stored on a SIM card, try setting them on another phone first.

    Yes the SIM does store most settings but you can manually set the service center number, I have not had a chance to look into the phone to see how to access the manual settings. I do know that their is a way to get at them i am just not sure how to do it ( Yet ). The tools that are used to sent the setting to the phone over the air are now up for T-Mobile at this time.

    iPhone does not provide any interface for overriding SIM's SMS settings. So I suggest using another phone to manually set all the settings (with the same SIM card) then put the SIM back in. iPhone should recognize and use SIM card's SMS settings, but who knows.
