Texting internationally w/ SMT5600

[Guest MitzEclipse]

Hi All,

I'm having problems texting internationally w/ my SMT5600. I am trying to send text messages to the Philippines and they are not going through.

I can send text just fine to the Philippines when I am using a Nokia phone, so I know my T-Mobile account is OK.

I have all of my international numbers stored in +639... format.

When I send the message it says "message sent" but my receiver doesn't receive the text.

Any thoughts?

try 00 instead of +

You need to use the international dialing code...

011 + international number.

I SMS australia and europe and have no problems...

The whole point of using + and then the country code is that you don't need to know wether you should be using 00 or 011. The + should work wherever you are.

Having said that maybe you should try 011 (Why do america have to be different? - virtually everyone else uses 00!) and if it works let us know.

I swap sims between my nokia and SMT5600 so I want to use the +639... numbers rather than the 00 numbers.

I did several tests yesterday and i can create a NEW message and send just fine, however, when they reply back and I try to hit "reply" and send, they do not receive it.

I have to create a new message then send again for them to receive anything...
