For example, in UK the number should start "+44", then drop the first '0', then carry on with the rest of the number, e.g. if the number you want to send to is 077******** and you use that then it fails to send. It seems you'd need to use "+4477********" for this app to work.

this is strange. it should work with plain number (045...), plus (+35845...), or double zero as plus (0035845...) when I tested.

that could be depending from your operator and it not being accepting non-international markup of number. I have saunalahti finland and all possible (right) ways to input a number seems to work. but I can see if there is a easy way to check if number isn't in international format and convert it to one... could be hard though, and one miss in code could mean your text go abroad and pay for possibly pretty expensive messages in your phone bill..

and my next concern is to save the messages somewhere. probably to the same db conversations is using.

I'll post a new thread for this, lets keep this thread for more technical stuff. feature requests, feedback etc go to new thread.
