make sure you use the numbers statring with +

+countrycode-areacode-phonenumber

this works from almost all GSM networks around the world.

"00" or "011" prefix may or may not work in some places.

Also...
GSM to GSM is great.. but GSM to CDMA or TDMA may or may not work.
It has to do with the destination provider.

if you send an SMS to Sprint or Verizon, it may or may not make it...
but to a cingular or t-mobile, it will work just fine.
