Hi,

After reading an article on Cellular News last month about O2 UK signing an agreement with InphoMatch wrt allowing SMS conversions between CDMA/TDMA/GSM as of the end of February, I tried it out with several of my cousins in the US (using Verizon and AT&T). All messages got through and I've had messages back from them on both of those networks too. Hurray! :-)

Sweet I've been able to SMS my brother in the US using Vodafone UK for some time now too. He's using Cingular.

Shores Guy,

Most Vodafone networks will also work with Verizon (except Vodafone NZ). This is no doubt due to Vodafone's partial ownership of Verizon.

Correction, although it is not listed on the Verizon web site, Vodafone NZ does work.
