Texting america

Is it possible to do this?

 

It is, but I believe it costs more...

 

Do i just put in the number as normal? or do they have their version of our +44? and if so do i knock of the first number like we do when using it?

 

Well, the number is programmed into the phone's Sim Card, so the +44 should stay the same. I'm not sure though...

 

+44 is the international code for the UK you need to knock of the 0 and add the US international dialing code I think.

 

Look on google...the source of all information!

 

Tried that, couldn't think of the right google to get me answer.

 

The international dialing code for America is 01, so I assume that if you put that infront of the mobile number, it should get there.

But then, would you need an international dialing code for a mobile??

Try it anyway, see what happens.

 

I'll wait til me friends online then to see if she gets it.

 

001 plus the rest of the number

 

Cheers J. So i don't need to knock a digit of the beginning of the number like over here then?

 

No, we have an extra number which has to be taken out, whenever I have called the US or Canada it is just adding the 001 to the rest of the number but not taking anything out.

 

I have no idea. I just got my phone bill and i have sent so many texts

 

Thats why i'm on Pay as you go.

 

Same here, which reminds me....buy credit I have about 5p on my phone

 

I get a text bolt on for mine so i'm hopin it'll skip extra charges if there are any.

 

I had major problems sending txt to America - ie it wouldn't work. I am guessing it depends on the US network (the problem one for me was Virgin would you believe it), so I can't suggest anything sorry
Virgin had a weird alternative where you could email a US mobile (so no charge to you) but cut the message real short - like two words.

 

I always thought that on a mobile it was +1 xxx xxxxxxx

I've txt in America back here doing +44 and I never had any problems doing, so I'm assuming it should work going the other way.
