It would depend on what carrier your with, will depend on what carriers you
can send over there.

Thats up to YOUR carriers, not ours!

No reason why not, but if the carrier is AT&T (or is it called Rogers in
Canada?), they may not have implemented sms thoroughly.

Just an observation based on using sms between Oz & U$A on my travels - AT&T
is woeful compared to the rest.

Sending may be ok, but on AT&T in USA receiving overseas sms is a hit and
run affair, and the carrier in Canada (if Rogers, the main carrier) is an
AT&T subsidiary, and may, or may not, have the same problems.

Of course, YMMV.

Optus has agreements to send and receive sms to most networks in Canada
as well as the US.

Check the list at:
