Can anybody enlighten me please!!
I have a Nokia phone and a Turkcell sim. I have no problem what so ever
Texting to England or here in Turkey, but I just can’t seem to send a text
to my friend in Cyprus, and I cant receive one from her either, although we can converse freely when ringing each other.
I have tried a couple of phone shops in Didim this week to see if they can help
but sadly, there English is almost as bad as my Turkish, ( I will persevere)
I suspect its something to do with the provider (Turkcell). Any ideas!!

PS it’s a great forum and even better we are now living here permanently.

Does your friend have a good signal where she is? The only possible reasons I can think of are poor signal, or wrong country codes being entered.

Hiya,

Is your friend in North or South Cyprus? It can be impossible to text/call the south from a Turkish Cypriot (and I assume turkish) mobile.
We lived in N. Cyprus and we couldn't call or text the south of the island-we could only do it on a UK phone with roaming.

Hi Shirleyann,

I didn't choose it-it was 'im indoors.
It's a hand with long red nails holding one of those glass ball things with electric currents. I think you do need a trip to the opticians my dear!!
Actually, I'm off there in the morning-can't see a damn thing when I'm driving-this getting old bit is no bloomin fun at all.
