Which mobile phone number do you have?

Country coude Network Code and only first two digits of your number

e.g. +44 7624 12xxxxx

I am using the phone mainly in France, calling mainly Belgian mobiles.

Which french network do you use? Orange, SFR, Bouygues ?

Which network does the recipient in Belgium have?
Proxiums-Belgacom, Mobistar or Base.be

These are the symptoms :
- sending an SMS : get back an error message and "SMS not sent".
- resend the same SMS, it gets through, but you get billed for 2 SMS-es
- call a number : do not get a callback; try to re-call and get a busy message (not systematically true, sometimes I am able to call, thank god).
- people with a Belgian phone in France do not manage to send me an SMS while I am in France too. They can call me though.

Any rational explanation for this ?

Rumours say, that french GSM-Operators are not "lucky" with international cross network Message Transport.

Hello Hrgajek,

my number is +44 7924 54xxxx
The french network varies, but is usually Orange.
The Belgian operator is proximus.

But similar problems also occurred to a lesser degree when in Finland last January sending an SMS to a finnish GSM. I was still using my +44 7924 0xxxxx number at the time.

Also it is not only SMS, but voice callback does not always work either (request is sent, but no call comes back).
