I have a friend in australia and an unactive tracfone from nokia. I want to know whether I will be able to send text messages to her if I buy minutes. I read at the tracfone website that you must enter a 10 digit number in order to send a text message, and her number has more than 10 digits. Does this make it impossible?

Thanks.
Mike.

If the phone is active and you have minutes, you should be able to text AUS. As long as International texting is allowed. The 10 digits mentioned is for US phones. For international numbers, enter the country code then the number.

Also enter the international dialing code(011) or + for GSM phones before the country code. So, for UK, it will be 01144number.

Tracfone can do anything, at any place, at any time... it just depends how Tracfone feels at the time.

No.

From the Tracfone web site:

Can I send a text messaging internationally?
No, although your phone may support it, it is not offered by TRACFONE at this time.

In other words, it's a Tracfone thing, not a phone thing.

I thought Tracfone could do anything?
