    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone has had success with SMS between cingular in the
    US and Orange in India. Also, what are the additional costs associated
    with this? Is there any provider that's better for SMS?

    In the US T-Mobile is SMS international king. Just found out that in
    the Verizon does offer some international text messaging.

    Hasn't some enterprising individual made a chart of all the compatible
    carriers gateways and numbering formats?

    From Verizon USA...

    "Please see below for the list of countries contained in the Vtext.com
    "TXT International" link:
    Bermuda
    Canada
    Chile
    China
    Columbia
    Dominican Republic
    Ecuador
    Hong Kong
    Japan
    Mexico
    Panama
    Peru
    Puerto Rico
    Philippines
    Saipan
    UK
    Venezuela

    Verizon Wireless is currently in the process of establishing
    partnerships with overseas carriers to support text messaging. This
    will eliminate the need to use the text messaging e-mail address
    format. You can find the list of international wireless carriers who
    are TXT Messaging partners by visiting <http://www.vtext.com> and
    selecting the "TXT International" link. When sending to one of our
    International text messaging partners, please address your messages
    with the carrier code that appears on the website.
    TXT International partners are being added continuously. If the
    International customer's phone carrier you are trying to text message
    is not listed, please note that many wireless carriers provide TXT
    Messaging addresses (similar to an e-mail address) to allow you to
    reach their customers. This is essentially an e-mail address for the
    wireless phone, which is usually the 10 digit mobile number
    @domain.com. All Verizon Wireless phones have a text messaging
    address, which is their 10-digit mobile [email protected]. Please do
    not use a "1" or international code when sending to a text messaging
    address. Most of our current phones can support e-mail addresses up to
    50 characters long.
    To ensure you have the correct address of the international device,
    please contact the person you are trying to reach and ask for the full
    text messaging address of their mobile phone.
    If you have further questions or concerns, please contact us anytime
    through e-mail using the address of [email protected]."

    Thanks for the info. But when I talked to the T-Mobile people they said
    something like 35 cents per message, which is more than I can afford. I
    was under the impression that you could send international SMS in the bulk
    SMS packages that you get (100 messages for 3 dollars or so). Does anyone
    have more info on this?
