I'm trying to send a TG a text message. Since I don't have a mobile, I'm trying to use Yahoo mobile. It tells me the number is not valid but I know it is cuz I talk to her

. Maybe I'm not using the right prefix or someting?
66 8 ######## is correct no? I tried dropping the 8 or adding a 0 but no luck. Anybody know another method to text (other than buying a mobile myself)? Thanx!

You might want to give Text Message - Send SMS - International Messaging Service ipipi.com a try.

try putting the plus '+" symbol in front of the 66

+ or 00 should do it.

+ or 00 is the way to do it........

Thanks for the tips. + or 00 still didn't work. I'll try IPIPI.

Noted that Yahoo says you can only send to Thailand mobiles that are signed up on DTAC or AIS (if she has a different provider you wont be able to use Yahoo)

According to Yahoo instructions you prefix the number with + (i.e. +66) so may be what I said above.

Try creating a skype account...its cheap as heel to both talk to mobile in thailand or send SMS to a mobil in LOS.
