To old to work with SMS I doubt that :-) it just the poor way sms was implemented in the USA. Though I thought they had solved most of the really egregious problems ie cross etwork SMS now.

Right, one would think it would work since the phone had SMS built in, and it was the same carrier (Virgin, i believe using the Sprint network). I have no idea of the technical details but I assume it’s some protocol version incompatibility.
