Rgtmum,


We want you to be able to communicate with anyone you would like via text no matter where they are located. What exactly happens when you try to send an international text? To clarify, by international text do you mean you are sending the text to an actual international number or to someone that has a US number but are currently out of the country? Have you been able to send international text in the past?

Thanks very much for getting back to me.  After I write and send the text it looks like it has gone but it never gets received.  I have received texts from the same numbers and replied to those and still they don't go through.  I am sending from a US # to UK mobile #s.  No I haven't been able to send any international texts.  I can phone the same #s though just fine.

Rgtmum,

Thanks for providing us with additional details. Is this happening with only one specifc number or all numbers you're sending text messages to in the UK?

I'm sorry to see that this matter remains unresolved, Rgtmum. One thing that we should look into is the other party's ability to recieve messages from outside the United Kingdom. To your knowledge, do either of the other parties have any restriction against or even trouble receving texts sent to them from outside their country?

No, both parties have received other texts from abroad without any problem. I can phone the numbers with no problem and they can phone and text me. Please advise how to fix this. Thanks very much.

Let's get to the bottom of your messaging concerns Rgtmum. What make and model phone are you using? Have you ever been able to send a text message to the U.K number in the past? Are you entering the country code plus the mobile number in the "To" field of the text message?


Thank You,
