You will find the SMS connection between any US CDMA carriers (e.g. Sprint, Verizon, Alltel) and any non-US/Canada GSM carriers to be virtually nonexistant. The US/Canada carriers got together and set up a system to pass SMS back and forth between each other but it depends on each carrier being hooked up to the interchange system. European GSM carriers don't generally exchange SMS with US CDMA carriers.
