I have no ideea. Give me your phone number and I will send one. 
Here in Europe, all GSM phones have SMS support. I also have a partner in US which can send and receive SMS to/from me. I can receive messages in my car.

As far as I know, SMS only works with the CPT9000 phone and even then, it only displays incoming messages, you can't use the iDrive system to send any SMS messages...

With v23.1, the SMS option is back with CPT9000, but how can I have someone send me SMS message and I can see it on screen? I tried with 2 cell phones sending text messages to my phone, but nothing shows up in SMS screen.... what needs to be done to see the messages on i-drive screen? anyone also has pictures of that? thanks guys!!

Nope, it's the same:
SMS = Short Message Service

You need to send a text message to the cellphone taht is connected. Once the message is received you should be able to read it on the screen...
