USA, Canada / sending text message to canada from poland [9]
I believe this cost for an international SMS is around $0.50. It will be charged to the person sending, not receiving.
I'm in Canada and have had many problems calling and sending SMS's to Polish cell phones. My girlfriend in Poland is on a mobile network called "Play". I cannot call her cell from any phone in Canada, however, SMS's still go through to her... most of the time. I've had no troubling sending SMS's to Poland until lately when all of a sudden this past month about 50% just bounce back from my carrier saying I sent it to an invalid number. Her sending SMS's to my phone from Poland has never been a problem.
A cheaper alternative would be for your family to send SMS's from a progam called Skype if they have access to a computer and the internet. The cost is $0.07 per SMS. Again, I've had problems sending SMS messages with Skype to Poland but she's never had problems messaging me with it.
