I am also using SMS over GPRS here in Singapore with my T68 and M1. It works quite well (the message is sent in a real flash!) but sometimes I get the error message 'Message failed' when, once checked with the recipient, the message has actually been sent and received. Not sure if I am being charged or not, still have to see my first phone bill since I started using this feature. |

No way to send SMS over GPRS on SFR, in France...
No error, simply the message will never get its destination...

I was an SFR customer a long time ago and fortunately I am not anymore. SFR really sucks! |

That's really cool! I didn't know the T68 had that feature, but I just tried it on Comviq's network here in Sweden and it works just fine!

Don't be too sure about the taxes for SMS when using GPRS as the service...
The operator has the possibility to charge SMS over GPRS seprately, since it produces a special kind of charging-records.
The operators that have disabled SMS over GPRS will probably enable it again when their billing systems can support the charging-records...
...SMS over GPRS might be cheaper than regular SMS though, since these SMS-messages are cheaper for the operator.

luwi,
i can still send sms through gprs (globe). but for sure this is not for free because i'm checking my account balance every now and then, and it shows that i am still being charged for every sms sent. what i don't know is if they charge me the same rate as with gsm access! |
