Hi,
A friend of mine who lives in the US and who has a BlackBerry (on the T-Mobile USA network) has tried several times to send me text messages on my iPhone 3G (on the O2 UK network), but to no avail.
I have contacted O2, but surprise surprise they told me that nothing is wrong at their end. I thought that the problem was maybe related to my upgrading to iOS 4.0.x, but yesterday I reverted to 3.1.3 and I am still not able to get text messages from my friend.
Surely, there has to be something wrong with either my iPhone 3G, the operating system, and/or O2? For information, my friend is able to text to Germany (and the US, obviously) without any problem... so its not like she cant text to Europe...
Anyway, this is very frustrating, so hopefully someone knows something about this...?
Cheers, Alan.

If your messaging is working fine its not a issue with your phone. Make sure your friend has your full phone number in the blackberry. Usually they are missing a number like country number like U.S. is 1 and then the area code and phone number.

Yes, sorry, I should have made myself clearer. I can text without any problem from my phone. In fact, I have been able to text her on several occasions and without any problem whatsoever. However, in her case, whenever she tries to reply to me (by simply replying to my message, i.e. not entering my phone number as such, even though I have double checked that with her and the number is right, no problem there), then her BlackBerry tells her that the message has been sent, except that I never receive anything... She has contacted T-Mobile and they told her that the sole fact that her BlackBerry told her the message was sent means that there is nothing wrong on her end... So, yes, rather puzzling... and frustrating...
