Cannot send SMS to a specific USA number

[devilpiper]

Hi,I have a vodafone connection in Kolkata 98305 xxxxx and when i am trying to send an sms to my relative in US using +1 614-xxx-xxxx everytime the message sending status is shown as "failed" but surprisingly when i send a message to another relative in US using the same methodology of +1 (only his area code is different 323) he gets my messages. No problem with sending sms to my brother in singapore using 0065. Then why this specific number is giving me all the trouble?? Any updates on this would be really helpful.regds

Is the person's (for whom the send failed) provider Sprint ? If so, then they might not receive your SMS. Other national providers Verizon,T-Mobile and AT&T Cingular support true SMS, Sprint does'nt. Only way you can send a message is through MSN messenger (which they have to configure for mobile at their end).This was the state of affairs until 2006, after that i dont know.PS: 614 is Columbus,OH right ?

You need the following details with you


[*]Country in which sms is sent
[*]Network name to which you are sending sms
[*]Type of sms that you are sending i.e. MMS or SMS
[*]Exact mobile number with codes to which you are sending sms
[/list]
Gather all this details & call up vodafone to complaint about issue.

Ideally you need to have agreement between both the mobile operators for sending & receiving sms or calls. In few cases there is just agreement for calls & not sms. It would be great if you could ask your relative in US to callup his operator & make a complaint with above details to US operator
