I have friends overseas and they can SMS me. However, i'm not able to SMS
them. It sounds like a problem with Cingular to me. Any input on this
issue?

Re: SMS to Overseas
Examples:
Cannot SEND SMS from France, China, Thailand. Taiwan and Singapore work
fine.

Re: SMS to Overseas
Cingular needs to have an agreement with a service provider in the country
you are trying to send to. I have the same problem sending SMS to Norway.

Re: SMS to Overseas
Hmm, I can send SMSs to norway with no problem (I don't remember the name of
the norwegian provider but I know it is not the state owned one Telenor?)

Re: SMS to Overseas
The two largest providers are Netcom and Telenor. I have tried sending SMS
to both without any luck.
BTW: Just for a test I tried with a friend's t-mobile sim card. It worked
perfect every time.

Then you proved its a function of the Network, and not the phone.

Re: SMS to Overseas
Thanks. The new numbers worked! Why would Cingular provide me with a service
center number that is not working overseas?
I had +1 312 314 9810 as my service center number. Maybe that will work to
Venezuela?

Re: SMS to Overseas
Erik,
What service center works for you to Norway?
Singapore used to work for me, but no more. I guess I should try the other
service center.
Cingular should support Venezuela because they advertise it all the time.

Re: SMS to Overseas
I use +12099042030. However, what I realize now is that I only receive half
of the messages sent FROM Norway to me. Not a reliable service.

Re: SMS to Overseas

They are all working to Telenor. I did not test sending to Netcom.
