    Trying to find info....

    T-Mo users here in the States, how much are they charging you to send SMS overseas ? I cant seem to get that info. On their site, the only thing about international Text Messaging is what T-Mo is charging for sending a message when you are physically at an overseas location.

    anyone ?

      well I have a treo 700 right now and Verizon doesnt have tie ups with a few carriers overseas, so I'm forced to downgrade to a Treo 650 and go with T-Mo, essentially jump on the GSM bandwagon. They have way more affiliates overseas anyways.

      Verizon charges me $0.25 outgoing and $0.10 incoming on international SMS. Just Trying to get a handle on T-Mo's pricing on SMS.

      What state are you in Geoff ? And whats your experience with T-Mo's coverage been like ?

        i'm in MO. I don't think I've ever sent a text overseas though... I thought it was all the same. $.10/text regardless

              I'm in Ohio.... Never really had an issue with coverage, or should I say nothing more noticable than any other mobile provider I've had.

                I've been extremely pleased with Verizon and to be honest, I'm kinda nervous making the switch.... but the temptation of using GSM anywhere overseas is too powerful, not to mention the wider coverage for SMS

                  You need to sign up for "worldclass service" which is free and then sms messages are 35 cents outgoing and 10 cents incoming...

                          just found out, its $0.15 cents a message if you are physically in the US and you're sending a text overseas, for incoming, depending on the plan you are on, its free or $0.05 / message.

                          It costs $0.35 if you are with T-Mo (USA) but are physically at an international location

                              Exactly right - just found this out when a work mate from Europe was here. I thought it'd be more.

                              Moving to Verizon in a couple of months and can't wait. Not only does their service rock, their selection of phones and PDA's beats the snot out of Tmobile.
