Cell fone texting :)

---

hey!i was just wondering something. i live in canada, so if i get a cell fone and if i buy so manty texts per month, can i send those text messages outside of canada? like..in europe?

I managed to text a friend in ireland, however, i can't send Rick a text in the states theres obviously something simple we arn't doing hon, lets hope the brainy bunch tell us what it is LOL

lol yeah im pretty dumb

i dont have a fone yet, im just wondering if il have to pay more besides buying so many a month

ooooo... everyone text me as an experiment!!

Yes, yes, and then everyone touch his boobs...oh wait, wrong experiment.

I like your experiment better

It depends on which network you are using. Also, be aware they put hefty surcharges on when sending to another country.

Yea, I think you'll find your able to but it will cost extra. I costs me twice as much to text to the UK as it does within the country.

can't say for Canada, but, using my mobile to txt other countries from the UK uses up 2 messages off my free allowance, so, effectively, that translates to 24p a txt if I had to pay (grumbles to himself: of course, I pay it up front in the contract really!! grr!!) as for successfully txting abroard... tips: instead of dialling using (all examples are to the UK hence 44, just substitute your code here) 0044 to txt, you need to do +44 as the start of the number, also, the first 0 of the number is to be dropped (eg: 0208 would become: +44208)... this applies when calling as well as the 0 only defines that it's a national rather than international call, and 00 for international blah blah blah... on the mobile networks, + replaces 00 as it's all done digitally so for example: a call from say, oooh, Bahrain would read: +973##### on your mobile and they would have dialled +44#### to get the UK number

Anyway, hope this proves useful... any snags, feel free to pm me... I spend a lot of time trying to help people do this ... a good portion of my job as I'm a telecommunicator for the RAF :wink:

hope this helps

**Erm..........i'll try that hon, now anyone wanna give me their numbers so i can try ** :grin:

Doesn't it depend on whether or not you have a triband phone?

I wish I could too. You need to make sure that you have International coverage....Then it will work I wish I could text Angel.. I miss my huggs and kisses from her! Lately, I could use them..... Snif!
