For overseas you have to type the number in as +1, then the country code, and then their number. Is this how you are doing it?

I didn't have to do anything special with T-Mobile in order to receive messages from Ireland, but maybe things are different with CDMA carriers. | Hmm, good question I don't remember. I did enable LD and roaming for AT&T but more for voice.

Yeah, there are some diffs in sending to Europe. Save all numbers as +1 will do fine, otherwise with 011 you'll run into probs when roaming.
Denmark does not receive any msges from Verizon. Expect upto 24h delay on sending to Greece and UK. Italy, Germany and Netherlands are fine and arrive at an instant.

The "1" has to be replaced by the actual country code of the recipient. The "+" shortcut for the International Access Code only works for GSM phones. CDMA phones have to enter the actual code, which is "011" for the United States and countries which use "1" as the country.
