Text messages to U.S.

I'm a U.S. traveler and have never been able to successfully send a text message to a U.S. mobile phone while traveling overseas using one of the roaming SIMs (Riiing, United Mobile, or now TravelSim). The message seems to go out OK but is never received.

From browsing the forums it appears this may be a common problem. Does anyone know of a workaround? It's not critical, but I'd like to be able to send my wife or kids a text that they can read when they get up rather than waking them with a call at 3 a.m.

I'm trying to send text to Verizon Wireless mobiles, if that matters. Thanks for any suggestions.
