Okay @lobeliadongle, there’s probably two options:

  1. Check the user guide for your Wi-Fi dongle, because there’s probably an admin web interface that’ll allow you to send and receive text messages via the SIM in the dongle.
  2. Remove the SIM from your dongle and pop it into a phone, so you can receive the text messages you’re after - assuming you know when to expect them.

Anyway, good luck.

Thank you, I’ll try the admin route as it’s a pain changing SIM cards .

Hi @lobeliadongle 

 

In a case like this the texts are being sent to the SIM, the device you have it in is the decider on whether or not you can see them.

 

I’d suggest exactly what @andewhite says, should the admin web side not see the texts I’d recommend popping the SIM into a device that definitely supports texts when you need texts.

 

Unfortunately Wi-Fi dongles aren’t devices we officially support so knowledge and assistance from us with them would be limited.
