No SMS to Europe
Hello folks,
I was wondering if somebody with a To Go account has been able to send SMS overseas (Europe). I'm using a Sony Ericsson Z600 and I've never succeded in sending a short message to somebody in Europe, even if I change the phone they don't receive it. My phone says "SMS sent", but they just don't receive them (tried to UK and Italy).
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for the help.

You'd better qualify what you can and cannot do. Sending and receiving SMS totally depends on the network. I've never had problems with T-Mobile NL, T-Mobile UK, KPN-NL or Telfort-NL. Vodafone NL supports SMS in one direction only. And when you send SMS do you use delivery reports? If you do does the...

The problem is that I can send SMS only to USA numbers, but NOT to overseas numbers. No, I've never used delivery report, I'll try it out as soon as I can.
I called the T-Mobile To Go Customer Service few months ago, but they haven't been useful at all to solve my problem.
I tried to send SMS from T-Mobile USA (I'm in Florida actually) to Vodafone Italy, TIM Italy and Orange UK, but they didn't get delivered.
Any help would be really appreciated.

Do delivery reports use text messages?
They are text messages but they do not count against you just as official messages from T-Mobile do not count towards your message count.

SMS is not availible on TO GO accounts to any other countries except the US. You need ti sign up for regular service to be able to SMS outside the country.

Try sending the SMS to the default email address of your friend's phone, which should bypass any compatibility issues. So instead of sending direct to the phone number, send it like this:
Select "Write Message" or similar option from their handset's messaging menu.
Enter recipients e-mail address followed by a single space.
Enter the subject followed by the number sign.
Write their message using the keypad on their handset.
Send the message to '500'. This is T-Mobile's e-mail message gateway.
Example: [email protected] (space) Hi Bob # Happy Birthday (send to) 500
It will make the available message room smaller, and you won't be able to bridge over two or more SMS's using this method, but it's fairly fool...
