[Guest]

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?

calling up a mechanic and saying My "car" doesnt work, whats wrong with it?

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

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.

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?)

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.

It works for me, I tried sending a message to telenor and no problem. No
problems with Netcom either.

This may help (or may not). If you are a cingular subscriber, cingular has 3
service message centers on the west coast that I know of:
+1 209 904 2010
+1 209 904 2020
+1 209 904 2030

I am using the +12099042030. Maybe changing the SMS service center on the
phone will work?

I saw a posting once saying that after changing the SMS service center, the
sms started going through
BTW, I got these numbers from this link:

http://www.jokes.gr/en/mobile/smsc.html
(The numbers appear as PacBell SMS centers)

Now if someone knows a trick on how to send an SMS to Venezuela
(Movilnet/Telcel Bell South) I would greatly appreciate it. Someone told me
that if I changed it to the AT&T SMS center number it will work

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?

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.

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.

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