Receiving Text Mesages in Turkey


Userlevel 1

Hi - currently overseas vin Turkey for a few weeks. I've tried to set up a new payment with my bank and should get an automated SMS - but I'm not receiving it.

I am in a monthly contract. 

I have data roaming turned off - is there a simple fix?

Thank you.

Is it only OTP codes that you're not receiving? Can you receive normal SMS messages?

Thank you - it was all SMS messages but I had chosen to turn off my SIM in my paranoia over charges in Turkey as well as turning off roaming!!!!

Left roaming off - but switched on SIM and it is receiving SMS messages fine now. Thank you 👍

Turning off the SIM results in the same experience as turning off your phone.
