wringo Posted February 9, 2006 Share Posted February 9, 2006 Hi, just returned form Thailand and having trouble sending a text message from Canada. Tried several different ways, but doesn't seem to work. (+66,drop "0" and number) or (01166 and number) The message seems to get sent but not received! Any suggestions, thanks.

Phone your service provider, you may have to activate international calls / texts. +66 drop 0 then the number is the right way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you've checked with the carrier and it is possible, it could also be the Thai system or maybe just that it's international. I get maybe 1 in 3 SMS my girlfriend sends me with an AIS one-2-call sim. Sending from Cingular US, a much higher percentage make it to her, but not all.

I second Ipipi based in Canada , you get replies to email and I even got then to open the digicel network in Jamaica to their service. Unbelievable.
