Text messages lost in limbo!

[tomm]

Hello Somebody. I'm using a UK pay as you go sim from Vodaphone to receive and make outgoing texts to Smart and Sun network postpaid subscribers in the Philippines.

Hhmm perhaps I should try sending a text message to my brother, he's using Globe (on contract) and see if he gets it...

There is a problem with Vodaphone and the Phils... also you may experience problems when roaming in the Phils on Vodaphone and trying to send and recieve text messages from other UK networks. Messages can be screwed up, truncated or not delivered at all. Vodaphone is very expensive too. Skype is cheap but very hit and miss... can't rely on it. O2 always seems to work and is cheap at 10p per text.

Hello Tomm, thanks for the info. I hope they fix the problem soon or at least trying to fix it.

I have to say never had a problem when roaming in Laguna and manila if anything its Globe and smart fighting over who you connect to when roaming if you leave on auto select network.

I would aggree sending a text from vodafone is expensive but never had a problem.

As always you should complain or at least notify a company of any issues as otherwise they will not treat it as a issue.
