That is odd that international SMS is not functioning. It may well be a specific problem to India and USA. Even here in the UK, some networks and MVNO's do not get SMS through to India all of the time.

GPRS data is possible on Bouguyes. If he has a Java enabled phone, he could download a stand alone JAVA application that sends SMS data via a GPRS connection and their own servers. You could try SMSbug for example. (http://www.smsbug.com). You will need to buy some credits with them as well. In any case, this option works out much cheaper than the rate of international SMS with most carriers.

I would say try do this first before other options.
