Texting From Foreign Country Question !!?

Question

im going to las vegas then to hong kong, to get to the philipines this summer . Now im wondering can i text from a airplane ( i know it might not be recieved until i land since the high altitude) . But is it possible ??

Next question can i text from the phillipines to my friends in NY without any extra charges. OR even from LAs Vegas ?

By the way i have a blackberry and at&nt service . Me and all my friends have unlimited texting.

Answer 1

Cellular phone are supposed to be off during the flight, and apparantly it is difficult and impossible especially if you're doing an international flight. Some airlines provided texting features on their seat on a charge for every text sended.

Of course you could text from phillipines but the charge would be adjusted to the local network you use (which already have agreement with ATT)

Answer 2

I don't think to be possible to text from the plane, regarding other places you should check with the local networks, by the way you check with your provider too. I live in Dubai my phone can be used in some places abroad not all.
