Some questions about the web-text services from Vodafone and O2.
* Can you send messages longer than 160 characters?
* Can you send messages to international numbers?
* Do the online phonebooks have import/export?
I currently use Meteor (prepay) for mobile calls.
For various reasons I'm considering switching.
Meteor web-texts are limited to 160 characters (This is an SMS limitation but you'd think they'd split it across multiple messages, as with long texts from phones.). Also their phonebook can't import/export. And you can't web-text international numbers (well, not through the standard interface
Finally, I gather from the O2 T&Cs that prepay customers can roam out-of-the-box. Does the same apply to Vodafone?
With Meteor prepay you have to have previously registered a current credit card, and then ring them a few days before you travel to enable roaming (with no way of checking if it's been done properly until you are abroad - one reason I'm considering switching.).
