Text Message to a none 10 digits phone number

AT&T requires it to be a 10 digit number ONLY, it's a GSM network.

All GSM networks require ten digits.

Wait, wait. I can do this. Tell me exactly what you're doing--I get and send messages to Twitter and Urban Outfitters, and they don't have 10 digit numbers. You are talking about texting, right?

Yes, how to you send txt messages to a 6-digit number like the ones you see on TV?

You just type the SMS short code number in as the number you are sending to, like 12345 for example. Don't worry about the hyphen it puts in. If it's a valid short code you shouldn't have any trouble. Then type the message or key word in the space for the message. I do it all the time with no trouble.

Perhaps if you explain exactly what you are doing and what happens we can assist more.

I have no problem sending international texts to a friend in the UK.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will try it. Trouble is, on the iPod Touch, using some of the iApps, there is no confirmation that the SMS was correctly sent.

Are you using a 3rd party App Store texting app, or the built-in texting app?
