sending a text message internationally, does it cost more?

[BlahBlahYouToo]

i'm not talking about canada. maybe to europe or asia.

I'd be surprised if it didn't. It definitely does going the other way.

 

[compnovice]

Yes.... But you can send it over the web for free..

Yes, but if they can get you for more money, why wouldn't they? Plus it probably does cost more to keep up the infrastructure to send data overseas.

I beleive Cingular charges 25 cents a message as opposed to 10 cents within the US.

Cingular/ AT&T charges $0.25 for sending over and $0.15 for receiving from international!

Was your bank account able to survive the financial hit?

Wrong, receiving is billed against your plan, if you have 200 a month included then it just comes out of there. Only time you get billed .15 is if you have pay-per-use.

good question....maybe it only counts domestically? hmm, might be a good thing to talk to a rep about.

With my carrier, Alltel, its the same as domestic texts, so if you have a unlimited plan, its unlimited international texting.
