About friend

Who got Mobile phone here and have bought 2 China Mobile sim cards..one with 50 rmb and one with 100 rmb. Why? I am trying to send SMS back home (Australia) and to friends in Turkey. Nobody seems to be getting these SMS but according to my phone they are being sent. Where do they go and why are they not reaching home. Apparently China Mobile does SMS to approx 60 countries!!! What is the trick?
