Sorry, I also should have mentioned that SMS messages aren't free, but they're relatively cheap.

I have a mac and the mac version does not have it available.

try using +82 and the number.

From yahoo, it works for certain countries, but not all. Not sure about
Korea though.

I use ICQ for my international sms'ing (for domestic I use AIM.) Very user friendly.

Great thread, very informative. I have Nextel here in EZE and cant really use the SMS function... I will have to get a GSM based service to get full functionality it seems.

where do i get this icq 5.1. i've had a couple of friends move overseas and have had difficulty since i am cell only and don't want to enable international options on my cell because it's expensive. so i hadn't been able to call them them or text them. for the phone call part i set up a onesuite account. i call when my mintues are free and just pay the 3 cents or whatever onesuite charges. if you're in a similar conundrum that seems a good option. now if this icq 5.1 works i'm all set thanks.

this is what i'm wondering now. i went to the icq site and it appears to only work from a pc. i didn't find anything you could download to your phone.
