How to Send an SMS Overseas

1. Verify that your mobile provider offers international text messaging. If it does, turn on your phone and go to the 'Main Menu' of your phone and select the Messaging menu. 
2. Go to the messaging options and select 'Create a Text Message.' Compose a text message of up to 160 characters. If you go over this limit then your message will be divided into two parts.
3. On the recipient field, enter the country code of the recipient followed by their phone number. (Country codes start with '+' and 2 digits followed by the 10-digit mobile number.)
4. Verify that you have entered the correct number and click 'Send' to start sending the text message. You will get a confirmation when the text is sent.
