Why can I still receive his msg from the same sim card?
Please help me, this is really urgent. I need to talk to him asap.
Where are you? In Thailand? Outside of Thailand? How do you know your SMSes never went through?
From outside Thailand you would dial (or send a SMS to): +66 85 408 6xxx (in the U.S.A. you might replace the "+" with "011").
If you are inside Thailand you would use 085 408 6xxxx.
(I put spaces in the number string to simplify the instructions, omit the spaces, if that wasn't obvious, when dialing or addressing a SMS.)
Use the leading zero in country, drop it if calling from outside the country.
In theory you should be able to reply to the received SMS, by choosing "reply". Your friend may not be able to make international calls, depending on their service provider.
