Well you need to put the country code in. There should be 11 numbers.

zeddy bear some cells here need to change the country code to have + instead of the two zeros cause the phones cant take the allocated numbers needed for international and using + means one 0 less

soOoooo lets see NZ country code is +61 (not 0061)then the cell number BUT take the 0 area code or 0 in the cell number off as well.

we have like um 027 021 numbers for cells - so u take the 0 off those - so a random number would be +61 (this 0 removed)21 123 456 like follows... +61 21 123 456

You actually add the + sign not the 2x 0's ok try that and hope helps

Other way is to get them to txt u first and save their number and u reply lol

I'm not sure why you would want to text internationally. It's usually really expensive.

Depends where... for me it's only 2p more than usual to text Europe or USA/Canada. OK, anywhere else is expensive though.

But I suppose in NZ there are no nearby countries to make it cheaper

Plus, they don't guarantee anything about it. They will take your money, I suppose, but the message might not arrive at all, or it might take hours or even days. Normally it takes seconds, of course. But I've seen messages take much longer. Especially for international messages (both using your phone with a foreign provider and sending to a foreign phone, or at least to a phone which is in a foreign country (so not using its normal provider), it's not unusual for the message to get lost completely.

Never happened to me when texting internationally. Although it has happened when I've just been texting normally.
