10 digit SMS? No international SMS? (REPOST)

Hi Guys:
(I'm reposting this, I didn't get an answer)

A while back I posted a message about Int'l SMS. At that time the answer
I got was: No, only 10digit SMS # are supported.

I read recently in sprintusers.com (or howardforums, I can't remember)
that Sprint was starting to support sending/receiving SMS to destinations
like 01144XXXXXXX. In this forum some posted a list of networks supported.
However, I tried from a treo600 to send one SMS to one of these "supported"
networks and no luck. Is this correct? Is there a list of international
networks supported? Any particular type of phones that support this feature?

If not, is this something that Sprint plans to support soon?

BTW, I was looking for the list of Sprint phones that support SMS but I
can't find it, could anyone post it again?

Thanks in advance,


Marco

It shouldn't have affected it yet, but BellSouth just sold its
SouthAmerican properties to a Spanish outfit, to help raise money for
Cingular to buy AT&T Wireless.

It is, so far, still considered an unsupported function. In fact,=20
the SMS system can accept up to (I think) 16 digits now, and so is=20
theoretically capable of international SMS. The networks you site=20
are only networks to which a successful test SMS has been confirmed=20
delivered. I don't know if that means reliability has been (or even=20
will be) tested.

Any idea of when Sprint PCS SMS will go international? 1yr? 10yr? (in other
words, is it planned or it is not something that has been discussed?

I just got a cingular sim and I am sending my messages from there (20 bucks
prepaid that lasts 3 months and SMS is 5c/min outgoing and free incoming).
Definitely very cheap. Too bad their coverage here in San Francisco is the
worse!
