Cannot reply to SMS messages from numbers not in contacts

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Receive SMS message from number not in contacts list
2. Type reply:message in gtalk window

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect it to reply to the message, but it doesn't seem to like new 
numbers, here is the output:

SMS from +447xxxxxxxxx: Or we can decide on the day

me: reply:sounds good mate! look forward to it. I can be at Ealing any time 
after 6ish

myphone: No match for "+447xxxxxxxxx"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

the person

Indeed, yours phones numbers doesn't match with "0[67]\\d{8,}".
We expect a number starting with 06 or 07 with at less 8 digits.
The only one international prefix supported for now is "+33".
Try to enter your phone number without this prefix.

Else you must have a contact with this number with "mobile" tag.

Don't really understand what you just wrote, but...
All my contacts start 07, not +44 yet when they are sent to phones in the UK 
(probably everywhere else too) they come in as +447 but the phone still knows 
which contact that is

We are not entering numbers with or without prefixes, we are just using the 
"reply" command

We really need to authorize sending sms to any number, otherwise this issue 
will be raised over and over again. Considering every possibilities for every 
countries, I think any number can potentially be a match for sending sms (even 
in France, not only cellphone can receive sms, but regular phones can now 
receive sms too).

regular phones here in the UK can receive SMS's as well

I'm with Kaijma by the way, my issue number 47 got merged with this but I have 
problems with people in my contacts rather than this original issue which is 
for numbers not in contacts

why don't you use the number as found in the contact +324952222222

The sms can be send with that format non?

We are trying to use the "reply:message" feature which isn't working, all my 
contacts start 07xxxxxx but when I "reply" it changes it to +447xxxxxx and that 
doesn't work

I'll remove pattern recognition for cellphone numbers. Then it will match with 
numbers containing only digits and possibly start with +

I am having the same issue here in the US.  My numbers start 317-xxx-xxxx  and 
I get the same no match.  The only way I can send messages is to type the 
contact name in and not reply or use the number.  Any help?
