I had problems receiving texts from Taffy at one time, although he could receive them from me. Then I read in the paper that Oman was adding more countries to its Vodaphone collection (or was it that Vodaphone was adding more countries? :icon_redface: ) and suddenly everything started working for me.

That obviously wouldn't apply to the UK where Vodaphone is widely available.

This may be nothing to do with texting and the UK, but is still interesting for phone users in NZ while we're on the subject.
