762996 2009-04-07 10:38:00 Although our friend in USA is able to receive our text messages, none that he sends are received here.

He has tried dialling using and replying. It applies to our two Vodafone cell phones, both are pre-pay. We even tried using an older Telecom one that is still usable.

He said he gets the 'message sent' indicator. We tend to think that the problem must be with his cell phone settings. Speaking with a friend in UK tonight, she said she has the same problem with texts from somebody else, also in USA.

Has anyone here had same problem or any suggestions?

762997 2009-04-07 11:46:00 I had the same issue sending texts from a cellphone (took a phone from NZ, bought a prepaid SIM card in Frankfurt) in central and eastern Europe a couple of years ago.

Could never be sure the texts I sent actually made it to NZ - about 30% of them just seemed to disappear into the ether.

But I seemed to receive all that were sent.

No solution - just sharing....
