I have been told that GSM Text messaging depends on the operator-operator linkups.
Now I really doubt that
I used to be able to send text messages from T-Mobile to a at least four operators in India, 3 in Singapore and a couple in the UK.
But until some time back I could NOT receive messages from 1 of the same operator in Singapore, and one operator in India.
But lately (last 8 months) or so almost anybody I messages receives it from me and they can reply back just as easily.
So I have not really had any problems. The good part is that T-Mobile currently does not charge extra for international SMS messages. A lot of other operators outside the US have started charging differently for local and international SMS messages - T-M...

that's cool pranu, i thought it was supposed to be .15 per message. Maybe they changed that, or they aren't catching yours... 😁

WHOA! I sure hope you don't work for T-Mobile!
I purchased the 2.99, 300 SMS bucket. And for the last couple of years I have not paid for sending an international SMS.
Where did you read that it is supposed to be 0.15?

Actually, to send SMS internationally is either .05 or one message deducted from your 300 SMS bucket. To receive a message while you're roaming internationally is the same. To SEND an SMS while you're in another country is .35 regardless of where you're sending it. At that, SMS is hands down the cheapest way of communicating when you're roaming outside the country.
