Anyone encounter problems with international text messaging?

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone has encountered a problem with international text messaging where the recipient of the txt message is unable to reply to text messages sent and must then create a whole new txt message?

The important part is that yes, they do get my text messages however the phone number that shows up on their end comes up with a string of extra numbers following my phone number. This is quite irritating and fortunately I do not have that problem with Bell. However I'm looking at moving ship to Rogers and I just experienced this problem with Fido.

If anyone is familiar with this problem, please share your thoughts and if there's a solution to this, that would be good too. I had tried everything with the phone settings (Sony Ericsson Z520a) and assumed it was a Fido network issue. Regardless the customer service was completely useless when confronted with this issue.

Thanks for your time,
Carl

goto fido.ca to verify if they have agreement with the country that you want to send.
