i have some friends in the far east, a couple in Dubai and another in Irbid in Jordan.

im currently on a t-mobile contract but can't find out how much it cost to text internationally, can anyone advise me a how much it might cost, i think my normal texts are about 6p.

also, if they text me, does it cost me anything?

20p, but it says only if the person you text is on one of their partner networks. on the link above, theres another link with the list of the foriegn networks.

t mobile will be sorry they never hired me

I send texts to my daughter in Australia for 20p on T-mobile - but just a few pence when I send them via Skype. Replies come back to my T-mobile phone.
