I agree!

If you've used the SMS notification for Airlines based in some of the other
countries, you would know. The messages are simple and quick.
They generally accept any number (not all airlines) from any country
for notification. (+countrycode-areacode-phonenumber eg: +18005551212)
I've used CO for several International trips last year, and the site would not accept
an international number for notification. Now what good is that?
Also NWA&CO's text messages have too many characters for a cell phone screen.
