Hi guys

Not sure if this message appeared anywhere in the forum.  I couldn't see it so decided to post again.

We frequently have long stays in St Vincent and the Grenadines and always experience a problem in that we cannot send texts to the UK although we can receive them.  It seems only to affect this area; we can send perfectly normally in Barbados for example.

Our local service provider is Lime who say the problem is not theirs.  O2 say the problem is not theirs either.

Anyone got any ideas?

Grateful for any information.

 

Thanks

tissan

If you are a contract customer you could try TuGo, if not there are many texting apps that you and the recipient will need installed and texts can be sent over wi-fi.

 

Unless O2 and Lime can decide whose fault this is you're stuck for using sms.

Hi

 

Have you tried a different provider to see if the problem persist?

adriannadavey Hi, sorry if I confused you by saying "our local service provider". I meant our local coverage is Lime.

You don't realise just how irritating all of that can be !!

I hope everything improves for you soon.
