Unable to send international messages

[Andre05]

Hello all

I have the 25$ plan and I'm unable to send international messages (I've tried sending to a French number (using +33 6 .. instead of usual 06 ..). Used to work with other providers.

Looks like it's included in my plan but it doesn't work.

I own an iPhone 8.

Thanks all.

Update: 011 33 doesn't work.

I've tried with many French numbers but none are working (if they don't have an iPhone).

MMS/SSMS are enabled in my settings.

Make sure your DATA is enabled as well.

Saw this on a different site:

The number will not register without the plus sign in front of the 33

@Andre05  try this.

011-0033 

I had to do this with a German number that is 011 49 ...to text it only worked with 011 0049 so maybe the same for you with 33.

Thanks all.

Can you text to anyone with an Android phone? Do you have the SMS and MMS settings set on iMessage?

How to call France from Canada

1. Step 1: Exit code – 011.
2. Step 2: Country code – 33.
3. EXAMPLE: 011 33 1 44 xx xx xx. A correctly dialed France city phone number will ensure your call will end up to the correct destination.

Can you receive their text? Can you reply to their text?

Sending a brand new text is it entered correctly? With the 011...etc.etc..?

Only one particular number or multiple numbers? Do you have another number to test or can you ask them to text you first and then try replying?
