international texting problem
Remove the contact and send it as a new number, then once it works, add it to your contacts list.
I tried to send it without adding the contact and only saved it after it would not use the country code. I did not use the + sign I just used 011+country code +1 (needed for cell phones in that country)+ phone number. 😐 I'm using Samsung A8 from 2018.
Which country are you sending text to? I would suggest you try to use the +country code instead of 001+.. for texting

So you would dial 011 40 1 phone number? I’m not sure it’s the right way to do it. Try without the 1? Telling us the country would help us. You could also ask him to send you an SMS and then go on from there.
Hello there! I have verified the account. No issues with the number :). You can send international text messages the same way you send Canada/US messages, except for a difference in the dialing sequence. You must dial 011+ country code + region code + the recipient's number. The 011 at the beginning of the sequence routes the call to the international SMS gateway. A list of International Text Messaging Codes can be found on internet using a web search tool such as Google. Hope this helps.
Thanks everyone for all your help. I was trying to text a number in Mexico which requires the 1 after the country code for calling or texting mobile phones, not for landlines though. So to call or text a Mexico cell phone, (going from memory here) is 011+country code +1 + area code + phone number. It was not a familiar number to me, I was replying to a post I saw. so I couldnt ask the person to text me first. I used to text Mexico a lot but from my old lg phone never from my samsung since now we mostly use facebook. I think I will test it with some people I know to see if the + makes a difference rather than the 011.

Did you receive other SMS normally from other people from the Philippines? Also, you should also make sure the sender send SMS in the correct syntax (add international code before sending).
No, i did not receive sms from philippines. I register my number on my bank in philippines but i can't sign because my bank send me otp ( one time password ) in my mobile number in koodo but did not receive sms.
