Interesting... Piranha had told me to expect problems with SMS for the UK number, didn't think it might be a function of the sending network.
In US I'm T-mobile, but rarely use it here, mostly when in UK and other European countries. In UK I prefer 3UK network because Piranha is direct dial on them, but phone does not always default to that, often goes to Vodafone - and sometimes I switch manually trying to get data signal. But have not tested the various networks to see which one might work with SMS. Nor in other European countries. It's a time consuming pain to select networks manually. Not traveling for a while, so won't be able to test (though could replicate your US test, if I get the time!)
