SMS for Colombia

[ben75fr]

Hi

before i haven't anything problem to send SMS to numbers Movistar or Comcel in Colombia.

Sinds 3 weeks it doesn't work more. What happen? Can you resolve ths issue? Thx

Same problem here. I can't even verify my own number anymore here in Colombia because the text message with the verification code does not arrive to my own Colombian cellphone. The cell provider I use is movistar. 

I'm thinking Movistar probably blocked skype somehow. The reason I think this is because that's the kind of thing cellphone carriers in general like to do to their clients: take away as much service as they can.

Do Skype employees post here at all?

I have the same problem. None of my SMS has reached Colombia since about a month.
Please figure out the problem and let us know!

Quite amazing that texting from skype doesn't work for an entire country and skype as well as the cellphone carriers couldn't care less...

Same experience.  I have tried multiplte times to send SMS to several different cell phone numbers in Colombia, all fail.  I can call those same numbers using Skype, so the numbers are correct.

Have the same problems. Skype always fails to send SMS to Colombia's mobile, but I'm charged anyway.

Is this issue still unresolved?

I need to send a SMS to Colombia...but I'm not going to plunk down $10 for credit if it isn't going to work!
