Alright lads

My missus is now in San Francisco and has bought an American mobile. I am receiving her texts from it fine but she's not getting my replies. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?? I have the number saved in my phone with the +1 dialling code thing, I rang O2 and they don't know why it's not working. Which is useful. So thought I'd call on the GOT technical support team...
 

Give this a try mate, +00 at the start, miss off the 0 at the start of her number, then the rest.

e.g. 07814567342 = +007814567342

I might have got it wrong, but I think that's what worked for me.
 

She's got an American phone though so her number starts 45. So when she texts me it comes up +145. I've tried ringing her like that and it worked fine, but texts aren't going through. It's very odd.

45? Or 415?

No, this isn't an elaborate plan to get your wife's digits...
 

Odd that you can call using those numbers, but not text?

I would think you would need to dial 001-415-xxx-xxxx to call or text.

I'll give that a try ta (y)

It is really weird how it's letting me ring her but she's not receiving the texts. They send from my phone ok (and take money off my balance) but they're just not getting through. Very odd.
 
well if its letting you call her with the number that you typed in, then maybe her phone doesn't work for texts. but if it does, then iunno what your problem is.

every phone in america is set up like this: 1-415-xxx-xxxx
i dont know what you fools are talking about with 00 or 001 or all that binary code bollocks.
