1458557 2019-02-27 18:04:00 Our friend is over in NZ for an unexpected funeral from the USA. We don't know where she is staying or where the funeral was.

She's left a number for us to TXT her.
717 --- ----

Unfortunately, we can't contact her on this number. There is no error message. The TXT is shown as sent. What prefix do we need to enter? Any suggestions? Do you know what the 717 prefix is?

Thanks in advance.

1458559 2019-02-27 18:36:00 For txt you'd enter +1 then the 717 then the rest of the number, - Not sure if 00 is used for text.

For the guest to easily talk to her NZ friends, if all numbers are set as +64 then 21 or 27 or 22 etc then the number.

1458560 2019-02-27 19:32:00 Enter the country code for the country you're texting to.
Enter the mobile prefix (without the zero)
Enter the mobile number you want to text.

Area code 717 telephone area codes which serve South Central Pennsylvania and the Susquehanna Valley.

This is not the country code however, it's area.
