Default I'm Bored... So here's a few questions...
1. how/what codes are needed so i can send an sms to a) america and b) new zealand, and how much does this cost if anything at all extra?

2. I have a nokia 6100, i have the books around for it somewhere (cant find them: read: cbf)... it does have infrared and i know how to activate it, im pretty sure the sensor is jsut off to the side off the phone, problem is i still can't receive any pics or ringtones from mates trying to send them thru that way.

3. there was a 3rd question, let me think for a bit... it hasn't come to me yet, so i'll go back to listening to music.. im hungry, and still bored.. thanks for your time py: :

Hey mate, america's access code is 1.

Check it here...

So, I suppose if you want to send a text, you do it like this:

0011 (to get out of Aus) 1 (to get into USA) and then the number minus the first digit.

i used to have a 6100...

cant transfer stuff from phone to phone... only way is to get an IR adapter on your pc and a nokia phone browser, and copy the pics on/off that way.

If the mobile your messaging is "registered" to an australian network you can just send it as normal and it should be forwarded on through global roaming. I think SMS sent out of Aus on an Aus phone is normal rates, however for them to message you back they get hit twice.

+1 for us +64 for NZ plus area code and number. You do know those cyber chat babes are actually all 40 plus divorcees, and the pictures sent aren't the real ones? Dont you?

If you took the time to download the manual or find the one you had in the first place you wouldn't be bored then would you. RTFM before asking basic questions, glad to help but I aint your reader.
