So, after I switched over from my old $33 plan to the $25 I can't send out international texts anymore. Same sending phone & number, same recipient phone & number, messages come in just fine and my phone thinks it's getting the messages out but the recipient is not receiving them. No apps or nothing involved, just plain old text messages. How do I get this fixed?

@merenze Put your phone in airplane mode for 15 minutes turn it back and try sending the text again. If it still doesn't work then:
- Make sure the number is correct maybe your friend changed numbers or their service is down
- Can you try sending an International text to another number? If it works then #1 is the issue.
- If it still a problem then submit a ticket to PM maybe they need to reset your account or in some cases a new sim will be required.

You probably done so, but have you rebooted your phone?

Try entering the number manually. Manually type in the recipient number on your texting app.
Which country are you trying to text?
Use "011" + country code + 10-digit phone number (including area code)
Btw are you able to text to a local Canadian number?
All the current PM plans (that having texting) include International texting.
