Can i send SMS to the US (united states)?
Sending SMS to the USA has become very difficult as of January 2005.
This is because the US carriers are now imposing restrictions on who can send content into their networks.
In order to send SMS into a US network, you first need to apply for a dedicated shortcode (Which aql.com can "host").
However, if you're trying to send ringtones to the US, even with a dedicated US shortcode, it's unlikely this will work - most US networks do not support binary messaging (needed to support wap-push).
