Web messaging Cingular customers outside US

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.cingular (More info?)

Courtney,

Do they have a cingular phone?
Do they have a GSM phone?

If they have a cinular phone there phone email address

xxxyyyzzzz@mobile.mycingular.net

If they have somebody elses sim card, just sms them.

The message will go through. Be sure to use the full county code and
phone number.

I have lots of experience with this.
