JT! Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Do i need to add something to the begining of the number? Or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Is it a British mobile in the US? Or a proper US phone number? If it's the former then it shouldn't matter at all - just send it to the British number. Otherwise you'd need to add the USA prefix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted April 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Is a USA mobile, i got a prefix off a site, but it didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munkee Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 sometimes they work sometimes they dont. It depends on whether their phone plan allows international texts. Basically if you have tried it and they receive the txt then their plan allows them to reply. If not.. game over :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RR_Trials Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Think you have to go to you service provider to sort out international texts, im not 100% though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrix Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Think you have to go to you service provider to sort out international texts, im not 100% though.I think it's that exactly. I can't text my Aunt in Miami - because her phone is a pucker USA Phone. I have to put an extra plan on my end or something... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopipe Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Is a USA mobile, i got a prefix off a site, but it didn't work. either +1 or 01 in the normal international prefix way should workI've got a mate out there who can't receive picture messages but otherwise it's alright. it does depend a lot on their plan/tariff thingy - and yours for that matter.

Smo™ Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 Say the number you want to text is 07890805805, replace the 0 with +1, so you get +17890805805. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munkee Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 i told you the answer already :-p its just not happenng. The uk carrier will charge you the money for the txt either way, even if the delivery fails after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
