Title: International network agreements
Post by: mobaholic on August 12, 2008, 01:42:30 PM

In order to send SMS, or MMS, to an international network, or to receive them from a foreign network, the 2 networks in question need to have mutual agreements.        :o

So if you have problems sending or receiving messages to / from abroad, it is helpful to be able to check whether such agreements are in place to begin with.        ;)

A helpful tool for checking can be found here. (http://www.gsmworld.com/roaming/gsminfo/index.shtml).        :)

I am told that this site is sometimes not up to date, but search results on it may be helpful in identifying the cause of the problem you are experiencing.        ;)

If anyone knows of other resources for checking such information, please post them below here.

Thanks.

Thanks for this information mh. I was having some problems sending texts to Pakistan. It seems o2 and Pakistan network Warid do not have an agreement so I cant receive or send SMS.

This information can save a lot of time as you are aware where you can send SMS before sending.
