Hello all: Please if you are going thru a problem, don't give up until you find a solution. I kept on the effort to solve the problem of international text reporting "Failed" and today, the problem is solved. An AT&T Manager in New Jersey called me at 4:50PM Pacific time and suggested that I should replace "011" with "+" when I want to text an international number. Guess what guys! -- I did and it worked perfectly. Long-standing problem solved at last. Therefore, if you get "Failed" when you send an international text, just re-send starting with "+" sign and the number. Happy New Year to you all.
