Poor setup by the provider. AT&T are particularly notorious for their indifference to this; this is well documented in the USA ng's devoted to cellular 'phones. However this may well improve as they get their nationwide (?) roll out of GSM 1900 up to speed. For example on AT&T in LA & Orange Counties, I can text anywhere, but only get text in from Oz. With Cingular Wireless it works well with all countries. I was on AT&T for several days; switched back to Cingular, and 6 text messages from Indonesia arrived at the same time (almost), all being several days old. > > >Finally I have read that some providers in the US are now rolling out GSM > >850, just to confuse matters further. > > Are there any GSM handsets that do 1900 and 850 as well as 900 and > 1800? Not that I am aware of.
