WHen you look at the FAQs of companies like Twilio, TextMagic, or FastSMS you quickly realize they all warn you. If you need to send text messages (and receive answers) to a subscriber in the U.S. you better use a US mobile phone number (or a virtual mobile number). And in Europe you better use a European number. "We cannot guaranty" ... they say, that text messages aren't lost when they cross the big pond. Sometimes sending works, responding doesn't. Sometimes messages get truncated or filtered.
It all confirms my own experience, that sending a simple SMS from my phone to the other side of the pond, messages often get lost. Incompatibilities between GSM and non-GSM networks ? I can't believe it.
Anybody to know the "technical" reason for these limitaitons ?
