Both worked fine. (Well.. both sent. I'm guessing the Denny's didn't get the SMS, but that's not really the point)
Edit: OK, I might know what your problem is. Are you putting a "1" in front of the number? Try leaving that out and just enter a 10 digit number...
Nope, that's not it but I figured it out ... you and [MENTION=206647]javabytes[/MENTION] are using the
mobile web portal. I've been using the
SMS Message Center. That apparently limits you to address book entries only, as I've tried it with and without a leading "1", dashes, parentheses, and spaces. If it's not in my address book I get this:
Through the Mobile Portal it works fine.
Mystery solved ...
