It sort of works now :)</p> <p>The only thing i don't quite get is that my phone shows the sender's number with 2 ones o.O</p> <p>-&gt; 001181 ...</p> <p>That's why i thought this was the correct number.</p> <p>Direct answering to her textmessages won't work (two 1s in senders number) so i have to manually enter the number with only one 1.</p> <p>Also, as soon as i put any kind of symbol in there (smileys, commas, brackets.. just about everything) i can't send the textmessage. i have to write without punctuation which is kinda annoying, because otherwise my messages fail to send or they get sent (sometimes), but won't arrive :(</p> <p>I guess that's the incompatibility described in the FAQ..</p> <p>but thanks anyways :)</p> <p>Greetings from Germany<br /> Patrik</p> <p>(PS: and sorry for my "google-translator-like" english lol) </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/callingtxting-from-us-to-germany-works-but-not-vice-versa#post-607 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 06:47:23 +0000 admin 607@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>Hi Patrik,</p> <p>Yes, you are doing something wrong: you don't need two ones after 00. You should enter 00 1 810 965 ????. Here's a page showing <a href="http://www.howtocallabroad.com/results.php?callfrom=germany&#38;callto=united_states">how to call/text from Germany to the USA</a>. </p> http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/topic/callingtxting-from-us-to-germany-works-but-not-vice-versa#post-606 Thu, 24 Sep 2009 02:09:34 +0000 Yazoo 606@http://www.howtocallabroad.com/forums/ <p>Hey There! :)</p> <p>I'm having a little problem here.<br /> A girl from the US (Michigan) asked me for my cellphone number. I gave it to her with the needed codes (011 49 178 3244???). Everything OK so far. She sent me a textmessage without any problems and called me once.</p> <p>However.. when i try to answer the text message or try to call her, it just won't work :(</p> <p>i tried it with this number:<br /> 001 18109656???</p> <p>which is exactly the same number my phone shows me as the sender's number of that text message.</p> <p>When i try to call that number, it says "this number is not in use", and sending textmessages just fails.</p> <p>Did i do something wrong? Or is this "just" an incompatibility between our carriers?!</p> <p>oh.. I don't know if that helps any, but her carrier is Verizon, and I tried it from T-Mobile Germany and (most of the time) E-Plus.</p> <p>I just hope someone can help me out here .. :)<br /> It's getting kinda frustrating *lol*</p> <p>Patrik </p>
