Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Sprint PCS / January 2004International SMS with Sprint?
Hi: I have read in this newsgroup that Sprint does not support TRUE SMS. A friend of mine in South America (GSM user) was trying to send me an SMS but not luck. I tried sending an SMS using a Sanyo 5300 with its web short mail app and no luck either: I can enter the message and number but then when I press ok nothing happens. My questions: a.- Is there a way I can send an SMS with my Sanyo 5300 to a GSM user outside the US? b.- Is there a way I can receive a message from a GSM user outside the US? c.- I'm in the San Francisco Bay Area and I've heard that Sprint has implemented true SMS in this area (one of the first ones). My guess is that if I want TRUE SMS I will need to get a new phone, which phones support TRUE SMS with Sprint? I think I read that the Sanyo 5300 will not be upgradable t o do TRUE SMS. Thanks in advance!

Most Sprint phones do not, and can not be made to do SMS, and the SprintPCS Network does not yet (maybe soon) support SMS. .. > It's worse than that.

You certainly inpress people with the quality of SprintPCS employees with posts like this. You have a lot of class.

Based on the number of posts directed to me, Philly, that certainly seems to be the case. Because they're looking at this objectively. You might want to give that a try someday.

He also continues to prove himself a 4th class human. Good old Phil, always giving everyone more and more reason NOT to take anything he post's seriously. Jim A Mark Twain quote comes to mind........... ;-) I have generally found O/Siris's posts to be on track. If someone doesn't like a carrier, then they should go somewhere else. Vote with your $$$. That being said, I like Sprint PCS and the service they provide so, anytime a rep ( whether officially or otherwise ) spends their time helping out with some incite, I would give them more credence, then someone who hasn't really showed significant competence in this area. Anyway, just my .02 .

You have a lot of class. All of it third. Twerp. Troll. Get lost. Please. You asked me before, "Who made you moderator of Usenet?" Obviously no one because you're still here. Rob has more class than you'll ever hope to know. ---------------------------- To email me, remove the zz. > > What rock have you been hiding under that you think they don't know? > > I've been *very* explicit about this every time someone has asked. > > You certainly inpress people with the quality of SprintPCS employees > with posts like this. You have a lot of class. All of it third. Look at the quality of the post he is responding to, you moron. You need to take a few steps up the evolutionary chain- you might get to 'pond scum' before you're through. A friend of mine just tried sending me an SMS from Spain. No luck. Looks like whatever messaging system Sprint is using is limited to the US only (inbound and outbound!) > > No matter which system you use, our messaging only support > > 10-digits for the phone number.

I suppose it's *possible* for an international message to come in, but we definitely don't support it. And it won't go out. Signature-+- RØß O/Siris I work for SprintPCS I *don't* speak for them. Hi Guys, I have a mate how is on sprint, and I can send him a sms message to his phone from here (Telecom New Zealand) He just can not reply. Also when I roam in the states I can receive messages, but again no reply. Telecom, Our Cdma carrier has 2 was SMS with most international networks including Verizon and AT&T etc...

Yeah, same with me on Verizon to my wife on Sprint, and we have to pay for Wireless Web minutes in order for her to get the message if we send it through "Short Mail", which is why I am hoping fervently for SMS to be launched already... Not an international issue for us, though. We sleep in the same bed... <g> SignatureJustThe.net Internet & New Media Services, Apple Valley, CA Steven J.

We appear to be having some issues (I suspect it's not SMS itself, but the process of launching it). However, the date hasn't moved. 2/3/04 still as of last night.
