+A weird quirk of the RT3S is the lack of the + symbol in the T9 style keyboard, you'll need a + symbol to prefix international country codes, e.g. +44, replacing with 00 e.g. 0044 doesn't work with SMSGTE. The only fix I found for this was creating a SMS Quick Text preset on the programming software containing the text "SMSGTE @+", once sent to the radio when you send a message select Quick Text option and chose the. template, it'll now have the + symbol in situ ready to enter the rest of the number.
