Please, does anyone know if it is possible doing the following: 1) Send an SMS from a European GSM phone to a USA GSM phone and vice versa 2) Send an SMS from a European GSM phone to a USA CDMA or TDMA phone and vice versa 3) Send an SMS from a USA GSM phone to a USA CDMA or TDMA phone and vice versa That is because I tried to send an SMS from Italy with my italian phone to some numbers in the USA (I do not know the standards and carriers of these phones) but without success. Thank you very much everybody. Fabio

You will not get the same resulft from/to all operators il all europeans country. Here in France, in most of cases, you can't RECEIVE sms from other country, simply besause sending sms in somes country is cheaper, or free (here in France it's 10~15 cents) and marketing compagny can use non-french SMSC without pay anything to french operator... so, french operator block most of them :( but we can SEND sms to the world. PS : by the contract of 1992, operators can't invoice indication data (used by sms) to other operator, so... sending a sms to usa is free for my operator, but i must pay for it :( [moua]

True also in Spain and on some other European networks. Good that you can at least send, abroad 'cuz some (few, but still...) operators in Europe block this capability as well.. > "sending a sms to usa is free for my operator" Hardly... You take up some bandwidth sending it, they need to maintain SMSC, relay the message overseas, etc., and perhaps even send you a return receipt... All that costs *something*... Michael

I have to correct you: in general, it isn't true in Spain. With my O2 and
Orange SIMs (in the UK), I can receive sms from any Spanish network. With O2
I can only send sms to MoviStar ("Telef�nica M�viles"), but all sms's sent
through Orange are delivered.
