texting to China by marcalan on 05-04-2008 at 12:27 PM

Can you do this? I tried to go in and set it up but it only allows you to put in the 86 prefix but not the 011 that has to go before it to call. Am I missing something? And help would be appreciated!! THANKS!!!

Have you tried using a + symbol instead of 011?
EDIT: See GiantSpider's post below

Its a plus symbol, or two zero's.

It doesn't allow you to add anything to the prefix in WLM.  It has a drop down menu where you pick the country you want to call and it puts it in for you in a separate field other than the actual number. You can't edit the prefix.  I tried no prefix and then just the number with a + instead of the 011 and a 00 instead of the 011. Then I tried a + instead of the 01186 and a 00 instead of the 01186. Nada! Any other suggestions? Or is it that WLM just will not send texts to China??

Thanks!!
