Any of you nice Europeans or UKers awake and able to assist me with some mobile phone testing?

Sorted, thanks to the fantastic saba1789!

Sure, what do you need? :)

I've just updated my phone for global capabilities and I need to test and make sure it's working. would you mind giving me your number including all that extra stuff at the beginning and letting me send you a text message? All I'd really need is for you to send one back to confirm it arrived to you. [assuming all goes well, that is. lol]

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Sure, no problem. I'll send you a PM with the number :) .

ETA: Whoops, PM is not working. Ok, the number is XXX. I'll just edit the number out again after I hit send, ok?

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

You should have gotten it, right?

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

I did. Sorry about the PM thing, I blocked it eons ago and couldn't figure how to unblock it fast enough. text coming your way momentarily.

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Ok, I'll eagerly await its arrival :) .

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

okay, sent! Hopefully, it works.

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Hm, so far nothing. But it has to go all across the ocean and stuff so I guess we'll give it some more time, right? :)

[msktrnanny.livejournal.com]

lol! I just sent another.... the problem is our 'codes' are not even remotely like yours so I'm never sure which numbers I need and if there's something to be added on. It's quite daunting.

Im awake! Still need some help?

Yeah, I just had to call a hotel in Costa Rica last week and I totally wasn't sure if I still had to add the international country code to the number I had been given or not.

Anyway, three times is totally the charm! It worked! But my cellphone kind of refuses to send my answer. Weird. I totally didn't know that I can't send text messages to the US, sorry!

not at all, if it went through I know I have the magic combination of numbers, which is really important! so thank you very much!

costa Rica eh? Planning a fabulous vacation??

Just got sorted but thank you so much for offering!!

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Hee, you are most welcome! :)

Oh man, I wish! But it wasn't for me - a co-worker is attending a workshop in San Jose and I was in charge of getting hotel arrangements worked out. Not nearly as much fun as if I would actually get to go myself :P .
