    They may not have texting agreements in place with the networks your friends are on. Call customer care and find out.

    This is a reply I got a the start of Jan from them - may have changed since.
    Don't appear to be saying there is a non-delivery problem, only an over delivery..

    Thank you for your e-mail and please accept may apologies for the delay in this response.

    I am delighted to hear that you are thinking of joining 3. At the moment there is no issue in sending and receiving SMS from domestic networks. For international SMS the process is slightly different. When a message is sent from one network to another, the receiving network should send us a response message to confirm the recipient has received the message. When this happens between international networks, there can be a delay in this response message reaching us, which can lead to our network resending the message a few times until we get the conformation of delivery. If this does occur, the sender is not charged for any duplicate messages, only the original message.

    Three don't have a deal with vodafone outside of Ireland. So if your friends are with them in the UK you are out of luck.

    It is even worse in the case of spain, you can't send texts to any network.

    If you read back on my previous postings I joined 3 the first day they went live . I havnt been able to text my mates in UK since then (August 2005)!!! When I rang 3 they said it would be a matter of weeks before it was set up. So its still not done and I have to use my Vodafone ready to go for 90% of my International texts!!!

    Research carefully who you can and cant text in UK before you switch is my advice!!!
