After reading on here the best way to text usa is via a java application like smsbug or vyke, i downloaded smsbug and it was great until I changed my phone handset and I couldnt get it work again, not smsbugs problem i know but something in the settings on my phone, anyway, instead of messing about i just downloaded vyke instead, it would send sms fine to uk numbers but wouldnt send to usa, when i contacted their customer services they said they dont support sms to usa mobiles, slightly peeved because ive put credit on my account i wont use now because i get free texts to uk numbers with my orange contract anyway. So just to warn anyone wanting to text usa,,you cant use vyke
got the smsbug working now anyway so no big deal

    will the internet site also not send to the USA? surprised if it didnt as I assume that is probably where it is hosted?

    It would be a good way to use up your credit?
