How to send message to phone# outside of the US?

My Nodejs app uses nexmo 2.8.0 to send message to cell phones and it works fine with US phone number. My question is how to send the message to phone# of other countries such as China and Hong Kong? According to the nexmo doc, it shall work with international phone#. But I tried and the other party didn't receive it. Here is the code:

const Nexmo = require("nexmo");
const nexmo = new Nexmo({
                apiKey: process.env.nexmoApiKey,
                apiSecret: process.env.nexmoApiSecret
                }, { debug: true });        

function sendNexmoSms(nexmo, vcode, cell, cell_country_code){ //vcode is the message

    return new Promise(resolve => {
      nexmo.message.sendSms(process.env.nexmo_sender_number, cell_country_code + cell, vcode, {type: 'unicode'}, async (err, result) => {
           if(err){
             resolve('failed to send');   
           }else{
            if (result.messages[0]['status'] === "0") {
                resolve('success');         
              } else {
                resolve('failed to send');
              }
                       
          }              
       });
     });
};

Can you share more details about the question? It is not clear about the error code that you receive.

One of the issue can be routing issue as well.
