Snoopz - best to have a word with the networks mate.
I remember back in 1999 having to buy an O2 P&G phone to text my g/f in Ireland because my contract Orange phone wouldn't do it. Whilst over there recently, some of my friends phones would get charged silly rates for texts & calls, whilst I would get charged for only some of the calls (I know there's changes being made regarding this).
A guy I spoke to at O2 Ireland said it was simply something like O2 Ireland and O2 UK not being set up to send/receive yet and eventually everything to everywhere (within reason?) would work. I find that a bit hard to believe this late in the game, but..
Worth a call to the relevant CS I suppose.
FWIW, my mate in Scandanavia has no probs getting SMS/MMS from me in the UK.
