I am in the UK and have a friend from the UK who has gone on holiday t
the US with her UK cell phone. She is using her UK cell phone in the U
and is in New York.  I need to send her an SMS/text message but can’
seem to do it.  I have removed the usual leading ‘0’ from her numbe
and instead put the +1 for the US country code, but it’s not working
Could someone please let me know where I’ve gone wrong and what numbe
I should be using, it’s urgent! Do I, ofr example, need to add the cit
code, or something like that..?

Thanks so much

The "+1" is the US country code for US phone numbers- not for people
traveling to the US with their home phones.

Have you tried just texting her in the usual fashion?  Normally, when
someone roams abroad you still call or text them in the normal fashion as
if they were home and the mobile operators figure it all out.

No- again, that would only be if she were using a local US phone.  Just
pretend she never left the UK and text her as if she didn't.
