Mexico to IT: unable to receive SMS

Enrico · **Mexico to IT: unable to receive SMS -** 08-09-2007, 12:00

Hi there guys! My first post here

I've got a problem regarding SMS Barring from Mexico. With any italian SIM, and with UnitedMobile, I'm not able to receive SMS from a Mexican cellular (Telcel I think).
That happens regardless of whether I'm on roaming or on my home network.

Did you have any past experience on that? Which SIM card do you use that is able to receive SMS from Mexican cellphones?

Thank you in guys

I think your Italian operator is H3G and the Mexican one is Movistar...

Did you have the same problems?
As I wrote, I tried 3 operators in Italy with no luck (TIM, Vodafone, H3G). I still need to try Wind but I'm not that confident that will work...
For the Mexican one, I think is gonna be a Telcel but I'm not sure about that...

Any international SIM that will work?

I think that Telcel doesn't pay the termination fees to the italian operators for sms.
That's why you can't receive any message, also on the international prepaid cards.
