* Notes

All message originators are overwriten to a local shortcode. Although even then we have observed the local mobile operators can filter and block legitimate 1-way traffic. To ensure delivery we recommend your own short code. When sending a message, in the destination number, omit the "9" that is normally used for an international voice call to an Argentinian mobile. This is between the country code and the local number; e.g. the format for sending an SMS is just the country code "54" plus the 10 digit local number' e.g. 54 1234567890. However, in some cases this can be done automatically by the operator. Please test first or talk to your account manager who will help with this.
