How do I send texts to international numbers?

Home > International Calling & Traveling

With Silvercell’s Unlimited Global Texting, you can text as much as you want to anyone in the United States and to over 180 other international countries. Just be sure you’re within Silvercell’s U.S. coverage area or if you are traveling abroad, be sure you have Wi-Fi calling and texting enabled and connected. While abroad and connected to Wi-Fi, your phone will work just like it does in the U.S. Please note that unlimited global text messages (SMS) do not include audio, picture, or video messaging features (MMS).

Sending a Text Message to Someone in the United States

To send a text message to someone in the U.S., simply enter their 10-digit wireless phone number. (e.g. 111-555-2345)

Sending a Text Message to Someone Outside of the U.S.

To send an international text message to someone outside of the U.S., you must enter country code and the mobile phone number. (e.g. 011-44-555-111-2222)

Receiving a Global Text

When you receive a global text message, the phone will displace the international mobile number (including the appropriate international access code). You can reply to the message as usual; you will not have to enter the destination address or add the access code when replying.

Message Length

Global texts can be up to 160 characters.
