This time him being in Singapore and I in China. Following is Alvin's email to me prior to the round 2 test sequence - The SMS demo did not work properly last week as the SMS service centre was not set up in the handset. I have since done so and the SMS works fine. You may try sending an SMS to 881631060108 as an email or via your mobile. 1) Sending via email: 881631060108@msg.iridium.com 2) Sending via web: http://messaging.iridium.com 3) Sending via your mobile - it works with mine. Yesterday's tests were successful only when I issued the messages using means 1), 2), & 3). However, Alvin was not able to send a text message to my GSM mobile phone in China. We think it may be due to gateway restrictions or unavailability of contracts with China Mobile. The email reply 1) worked.
