ICQ SMS and Three

johnnyteoh · 29th April 2003, 12:28 PM

Can anyone confirm that whether we can get free SMS from ICQ to a Three's phone and USIM?

fc_jai · 29th April 2003, 12:31 PM

i'll confirm within two hours!

fc_jai · 29th April 2003, 2:35 PM

sorry man i won't be able to find out due to that my mate moved his optus number over to 3G so it's not one of the 3G numbers

but can an sms message goes through after your mate have ported the number from optus to 3? If it does work, then I think all three's number should work. According to my past experience, the only sim that don't work with ICQ SMS is newtel's (on Optus). Voda, telstra and Optus (B-online) all worked.

fc_jai · 29th April 2003, 5:15 PM

well its due to MNP. icq servers still have the fixed prefix setup to tell them which network it belongs to. but with the big three (voda telstra and optus) they usually get through anyway

fc_jai · 29th April 2003, 11:12 PM

Sorry but I just didn't understand one word you were on about.

haha, i was on telstra prepaid.. when you try and send a icq sms to me, it says delivered by telstra.. i'm on optus though

must go by the number prefix..
