    Hello.
    I’m just curious for some answer on this small problem I have.
    I live in Sweden and I have a friend who’s living in Chile. And we’ve just started to
    talk by phone. I can call to this person without problem, and the person can call me without problem. But somehow, we’re not able to send text messages to eachoter.

    I read somewhere that I it’s necessery to change the two zeroes in the country code, into a plus in order for it to work. But I tried both with “0056” (code to chile) and “+56” and neither worked.

    I hope I can get a answer on this.
    Thanks in advice!

    Hi Dennis,

    There can be two reasons why your text messages don’t go through:
    1. An incompatibility between the two wireless networks for text messages;
    2. It is possible that your wireless plan does not allow international texting.

    Call your provider to inquire about this. As for using 00 or the plus sign – both should work.
