INT SMS charges for major networks

monkeydust_2

Can anyone help.

I am trying to compare the SMS charges of the major operators to international destinations – seems to be difficult to get information on this – plus there seems to be very large variations on this one as well. I use my mobile to text back home and sometimes get stung.

tried them - sometimes they never arrive - hear a lot of these low-cost-telephony companies will be moving into this space shortly..

T-mobile would charge 20p per text message sent from the uk to an international destination. If you're abroad they charge 40p per message back to the uk and 50p per message to a foreign phone..

Not sure about the others though - hope this helps.

Orange is currently 15p from UK -> international but is going up soon (October I think) to 19p.

Have you tried smsbug?

You also have to remember that not every UK network delivers to every other mobile network in the world. T-Mobile deliver to Telecom New Zealand, whereas Vodafone don’t. T-Mobile also deliver to more networks in the US than Vodafone.
