To answer my own question, this Text message to Indonesia wont be availale at least for another 4 to 6 month ( according to E-care ). Who knows. Now is May 2006 that will be around Sept or Nov 2006.

Question, someone told me that if you had the unlimited plan with SMS that the plan included free sms to anyone on the planet. is that true? Also, is it true that the sms plan includes messages to land line phones?

Yes and maybe, If you have unlimited, then Text message will be taken out of your Text message bucket ( In this case unlimited ). keep in mind that it should say Text message in your plan and not SMS message. cause it's 2 different thing.
the 2nd question i'm not quite sure. if you search there are plenty of answer i'm sure.

Maybe i was wrong, but from what i can remember, SMS is the Web Messaging <-- sending message through mail.
while the SMS Text Messaging is the SMS that we always use.
It's different terminology that Sprint use thats a little bit confusing.

Well when i go to the current usage of my phone it says i have unlimited wireless web messages. But all I know i send are text messages so I guess it's the same thing. I know i have sent text messages to home phones, emails, cellphones and i haven't gotten any charges at all. :fingers: Something that did got me mad is, i got charged for long distance because i was roaming. What BS is that? I mean it was 5 cents a minute. but they never told me that while roaming. never call out of state. so a call to my father, which is usually free i got charged 2.50 for a 50 minute call. I know 2 dollars is not much but it's the thing that counts.
