Does ICQ send SMS messages only to Australia, Canada, Israel, Singapore and Taiwan? I have been trying to use my ICQ account to send text messages to cellphones in the United States and France. In particular, I was looking for a way to send text messages to France, since I can already use voice.google.com to send text messages to cellphones in the United States (although, parenthetically, I don't know how to do so from pidgin or empathy, but nor did I investigate the question). Does ICQ simply not support texting in France, or the United States? That would explain my inability to do so (although, again parenthetically, pidgin and empathy should have known enough to describe my French contact as "offline" since a cellphone number beginning with +33 is clearly not in Australia, Canada, Israel, Singapore, or Taiwan, although it was less obvious that the cellphone numbers beginning with +1 were not in Canada). If not thru ICQ, is there any other way to send text messages to cellphones in France? Thank you in advance for any and all replies. Jay F.
