sms to calif is easy.

 

get his hp number 1st

 

usually its like example : +1 6193007512 , +1 9517713412

infront just put +1.

 

This one i never bruff children.. last time i work there then i learn.

 

Pruss satu!

[quikslvr]

usually when i send overseas sms,i direct key in the country code with + infront n the mobile no.eg my bro in Oz +61xxx xxx xxx or my fren in canada +1xxx xxx xxxx.i think US also has +1 as the country code.

There are several factors involved in the smsing, however, the 2 most important things that I can think of is

1) are you using a fixed line or a prepaid card - prepaid card needs to include some additonal numbers

2) Are you smsing a US tel line or another country line? e.g. if you are smsing a malaysian tel line in the US.

[redbeacon]

Kutrax, you beat me to that

 

Alrite threadstarter, here's how it's done.

 

The country code for the United States is 1

The area code for Oxnard, California is 805

United States' telephone numbers are 7 digits in length.

 

Putting it together, whether you're calling or SMS'ing somebody outside of the United States or on a foreign-registered phone, press these buttons on your phone:

 

+ 1 805 nnnnnnn

 

Yes, you have to insert the "+" symbol into your phone screen. It's definitely on one of your buttons.

The telephone exchange backbone for the entire United States don't follow the common conventions. Unlike Malaysia or most other countries, if somebody were to sign up for a new mobile phone line or a normal land line, he/she's given a 7 digit telephone number plus a 3 digit area code. The area code is based on the city where you sign up the line from (A Los Angelean registered phone will have an area code of Los Angeles, no matter where he goes in the US)

 

P.S.: I definitely crave going on a Californian coastal ride bro

you may be successful in sending the SMS, however, it still depends whether your service provider here supports sending SMS to your receipient's service provider.

 

Last time I used M1 & sent a few SMSes to my friend in Europe, but they don't get it at all. Then called M1 to ask, then was told that M1 does not support the mobile service provider in that country. What pissed me off was that M1 happily charged me for the numerous global sms for nothing!!!! 0.15 each global SMS....so cheated!

Sorry guys I OT. About the californian coast ride, Found out that rental of bike is est. US$300 per day. So a friend's recommendation is that we buy a 2nd hand bike there and then sell it off at the end of our trip. Will be cheaper that way.

Planning to ride around for 2 weeks. Gonna be a slow trip as it will be those kind ride one place - take picture, take picture - ride another place, take picture - get dark, find place to zzzzz... Date of ride not confirm yet as I want to make sure that the roads that we will be travelling in would be safe. e.g. no cases of black ice. So how so how? interested?

it reprezent the spirit of brotherhood.

if u in cali while riding a bike do put this flag.. might come handy if u need help.

From San francisco all the way to San diego with this flag.

if your ride breaks down, 'friendly' truckers who see your flag sure stop for you

Si Kutrax.... I nearly believed you.

Anyway, Cali coast ride targeted for Spring 2010. 2 weeks.

Would probably include trips to places like:

Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Carmel Bay and Oakland.
