Hi,

Do you know which mobile network he uses? The 3 operators are Claro (which until recently was called Comcel), Movistar or Tigo. There are also some MVNO's (who use one of these networks but brand it differently) like UFF.

I have a pre-pay Movistar SIM and I can't receive any texts from abroad. I suspect Movistar have some kind of international block on pre-pay. My wife's Claro SIM can receive with no problems.

You can also send a text from the web to a Claro mobile, you can use this link

claro.com.co/portal/co/pc3/personas/

It's free for you. However, the recipient does have to pay!

Good luck,

Rob
