"Wireless carriers Verizon Wireless and Vodafone Group Plc on Monday said they will soon let their customers send text messages via mobile telephone back and forth across the Atlantic Ocean," reports Reuters. "Initially, Verizon customers in the United States and Vodafone customers in Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Sweden and Great Britain will be able to message each other."
