it should be the same formatting

when I've been overseas and texting home I just use the same formatting to text the number as I would to call the number

I also use Skype a fair bit for those sorts of things as it's cheap for international calls & texts

Ok so follow the exact same things as if I was dialling.

Kays, thanks.

 

[Shell]

Wait so i gotta put in a city code too? Even for mobile

try it once, if it doesn't work then look for another option

 

[Shell]

so 0011 1 city code, phone number

 

[Shell]

I dont think thats right..

Theres separate instructions for making international calls to a mobile.. rather than landline.. should i be following THOSE instructions


dazbroncos where ru

 

[Shell]

So i would NOT dial "0011" Just 1 + city code + phone no.

 

[Shell]

ITS SHOULDNT BE THIS HARD.

/not yelling at u cats09, im yelling at the website

 

[winty]

I think you just need to do the 0011, then the +1, then take the first number off the number and you should be fine.

[Shell]

Maybe Ill just ring the phone company.. i wanna make sure international texts are included anyway

 

[Shell]

Not for a mobile number.

[Shell]

That I don't know, sorry.

Don't forget that mobile numbers are 10 digits long - the area/city code is actually part of the mobile number in the USA

It's a different numbering convention to what we have here where our landline numbers are 8 digits + area code, all phone numbers in the USA are 10 digits, whether it's a mobile/cell phone or a standard land line

 

[Shell]

Yep i think i understand now.. ill text him soon.


My phones on the charger and i cannot touch it LOL. (my charger is on the way "out" you slightly move it, the ****ing phones not charging anymore) So ill just wait till its 100% charged

How do I text message a mobile in the USA.

I just got the actual mobile number but im pretty sure i gotta add a country code prior??? Do I delete the first number offthe mobile no.?

Halp

Just +1(three digit area code)(seven digit number) Example- +16309695388 +1(630)(9695388)

I have free international calls and texts in my plan here. Better check yours. The person you are calling might get charged extra for an international text. Depends on their provider and plan. My brother doesn't get charged but my nephew does.

Mooooorning.

Lols "my" troll was up early again overnight. At least the comment wasnt specifically for me this time.

 

[Shell]

It was more a general statement, about ppl in the thread liking the smell of their own number twos.

Again, irony of those posts, seriously.

 

[Shell]
