You need to add the international dialing code even for text messages, the South African one is 0027 so that would mean that you need to enter it as 002782**** etc.

Made plenty of international calls and sent many texts to SA.

+27 is the international dialling code for South Africa.

082 is the dialling code for the Vodacom cellphone network.
