sending an sms to another country

**JuJu** · 03-07-2003, 12:43 AM

Does anyone know if it costs anything to send an sms to someone in another country?

**sumoda** · 03-07-2003, 1:19 PM

hi...
YES...It costs 5 cents per message, as per the Customer service ( i am on a 39.99 service plan).
but, the customer service representative told me, they cannot assure the message transfer 100 % !!
that sounded wierd to me. i am not sure they still charge icon

5c irrespective of the transfer of the message. he said... it depends on the availability of the SMS Server at that point of time....which i am not happy about.

I belive we can receive 50 messages free... but sending costs 5c per message.

to send u need to key in + and the international code.
like for india i key in +91 and the cell#.
hope this helps!

Is the 5 cents charge icon

specific to international SMS? I was under the impression that it was a basic charge on all SMS messages when you aren't signed up for a text plan.

I don't think there are any additional charges for sending SMS messages to other countries.

as i understood... it is irrespective of the local or international destination, the cost is 5c.

Since there are no additional charges for sending an sms to another country, would someone here mind sending me one please? Specifically the transparent operator logo from nextones. I would do it myself but nextones doesnt send to my country. If you want to help me out, email me at sendstufftoju@hotmail.com
Thanks.

For someone to send you an op logo, they would need to know your MNC and MCC for your area.

**JuJu** · 03-09-2003, 7:34 PM

What are MNC and MCC???

**JuJu** · 03-09-2003, 7:41 PM

**JuJu** · 03-09-2003, 8:00 PM

sumoda
I recieved an email but i dont know if it was from you or not.
If it was you, thanks.
If it wasnt, give it a try... sendstufftoju@hotmail.com... wont hurt to try more than one person.

Aslo, if i wanted to send an sms to someone in another country, how would i enter all the numbers? In which order do i enter MCC, MNC and phone number?

I don't know if it's possible to send an op logo from one s105 handset to another (EMS?)

You can definitely do it using a PC, celphone, and logo software. In the logo software, will be able to specify the target phone number, MCC, and MNC.

Perhaps, this is what sumoda is doing.
