|  Text messaging with AT&T?
Hi, I've a friend who traveled over to Birmingham, Alabama recently from Ireland and took with a tri-band GSM phone. He's currently roaming with AT&T there. I've sent him a few text messages and via email he's told me that he's received them all - and has replied to them too. However, I haven't received a single text from him back. Does AT&T support texting to numbers outside of the US yet on GSM? I would have thought so... |

If you go here, it will give a list of countries and carriers they support sending international text messages to. As of this moment, I did not see Ireland on the list.

Ah, I didn't realize that AT&T only let you text certain countries. Bummer! And yet somehow Isle of Man makes the list (despite its tiny size). Oh well... Thanks! |

I'm surprised the list is as long as it is. They just started allowing international messages a couple of months ago and ATT does not seems like one of the quicker wireless service providers when adding capabilities to their features.

In the end, my friend *was* able to text me in Ireland - he didn't put the correct international code prefix. For some reason, 011353 didn't work (where 353 = Ireland), I think he used +353 instead. As for the Isle of Man being on that list, I'm still surprised - I can only roam on Vodafone in the UK but can't roam at all in the Isle of Man... Cheers... |

They finally added automatic time update to their TDMA network four or five months ago. It took a better part of a week to update the time when Daylight Savings ended.
