Telestial Review & Intl Roaming?

I don't believe ANY European or international GSM phone will send SMS to US CDMA phones. SUNSIM Germany SIM did not deliver to US while we were in GER and FR this summer. I did not even TRY with the UM+ or Travelsim. No porblems to ATT or T-MO, however.

Try jaxtr.com, but you need internet access for that. So you might as well use your Verizon (whatever) website.

Orange can transmit SMS to SaskTel Mobility in Canada, which uses CDMA (I sent one to my brother-in-law from London, and after I sent it I thought I was dumb because it would never go through - but two hours later I got a reply ). It is possible that some non-North American GSM providers will permit SMS to US CDMA carriers.

Oh, No. Quite a few do work sending to US CDMA carriers. When I was with sprintPCS up until 2 years ago, I receive sms from family in the UK using Tmobile, Virgin, and Vodafone. I also receive sms from several carriers in Nigeria. I have friends that are using SprintPCS and have no problems receiving international sms.
