The bad news is that many SMS contacts from websites are not possible. Specifically, 1. Any website that asks for the name of the company your cell phone is with, will not work. This is because the website will send an email to the SMS gateway, and Ekit does not currently support that. 2. Messages from Google are not supported by Ekit.
Also worth mentioning, in order to use the Easy Dial numbers from North America, you have to be prefixed with 011.
In North America, we are told to select our network by dialing 2 + PIN. If you do that, the SMS messages may not follow you. This seems to be intermittant, and does not depend on which network you sent the message on.
In short, my plan to use SMS to keep up-to-date with travel arrangements and delays has hit a major snag. So please keep in mind that when Ekit say they have SMS, it doesn't really have all the features and functions that you may be used to.
