Verizon Wireless and Vodafone has introduced transatlantic text messaging, enabling their respective customers to send and receive text messages between the Verizon Wireless CDMA network and Vodafone's GSM networks. The transatlantic text messaging services will be introduced on a phased basis in the U.S. and 10 of Vodafone's GSM networks.
All Verizon Wireless customers with TXT messaging-capable handsets, and Vodafone customers across Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and the UK, will be able to use the service beginning in early 2004. Vodafone intends to extend the service to a wider footprint during 2004.
