How do I send text messages to international carriers?
 How do I send text messages to international carriers? Sending an international text message while in Sprint's domestic network is similar to sending a standard SMS text message, with one important difference. Instead of using a standard 10-digit phone number, you will need to use the following format:
Sprint: Enter 011, the country code, the Mobile Designator Digit, if required, and then the wireless number.
Nextel: Enter the plus (+) sign, the country code, the Mobile Designator Digit, if required, and then the wireless number. NOTE: A few countries have started adding a digit to the phone number, which Sprint Nextel refers to as a Mobile Designator Digit. The digit is used by the international carrier to identify the phone number as a mobile number. This digit should be entered preceding the phone number. Currently, Mexico, Honduras, and Thailand require the Mobile Designation Digit.
As an example, to address a text message to France using a Sprint phone, enter the following:
01133<wireless number>
To address a text message to Mexico using a Nextel phone, enter the following:
+521<wireless number>
International text messages can only be sent to or received by wireless subscribers of an international carrier listed on the Country codes for international text messages list.
NOTE: Sprint subscribers cannot send or receive text messages while in an international location at this time.
