have a true move international sim, trying to send a text to mates back in australia, tried removing the 0 from the front and putting 61 instead but didnt appear to work? or does it take along time before a user in australia gets the message? any help appreciated cheers

+61<remove the leading zero>nnnnnnnnnn press call/send button

treid that but mate reckons he didnt get it, is there a big delay?

Do you have at least 5.35 baht remaining balance?

you may need to contact true and make sure the sim is correctly set to send international texts

yeah balance is fine, maybe illl head into the true shop at kud san keaw, hopefully there english or better than my thai

What kind of phone do you have?

Are you able to send SMSes to other phones in Thailand?

I think +66891009120 is the SMSC for TrueMove.

You may have to configure your phone with this SMSC, essentially the number which SMSes get directed to.

yeah can send texts to other thai numbers and calls, phone is an iphone 3gs from australia, i got it unlocked here

Not sure what to say? It could be some issue with TrueMove, or an issue with the service provider in Australia.

FWIW, SMS is, like email, not a guaranteed service.

Is your friend in Australia able to send/receive SMSes from others? Can s/he send you an SMS? If so, maybe test a reply?

Use WhatsApp instead!
