How does the unlimited global texting work?

With Gen Mobile’s Unlimited Global Texting, you can text as much as you want to anyone in the United States and over 180 other international countries. Just be sure you're in the U.S. when sending and receiving texts. Unlimited global text messages (SMS) do not include audio, picture, or video messaging features (MMS). You will need one of our affordable data plans to support these features.


Sending a Text Message to Someone in the United States

To send a text message to someone in the U.S., simply enter their 10-digit wireless phone number. (e.g. 111-555-2345)


Sending a Text Message to Someone Outside of the U.S.

To send an international text message to someone outside of the U.S., you must enter the international access code, followed by the country code and the mobile handset number. (e.g. 011-44-555-111-2222)


Receiving a Global Text

When you receive a global text message, the handset will displace the international mobile number (including the appropriate international access code). You can reply to the message as usual; you will not have to enter the destination address or add the access code when replying.


Message Length

Global texts can be up to 160 characters.
