Sao Tome - no service

Why is there no service connection in Sao Tome? Is there a way of using the ID Mobile SIM there? 
 

At the minimum I need to receive texts from UK to authenticate accounts when visiting.

 

ID Mobile issues a list of countries which do not have service agreements and STP is not listed. 

 

Any solutions appreciated.

Hi ​@roamingbunny

 

Unfortunately, iD Mobile services are not currently supported in São Tomé and Príncipe, which means you would not be able to use calls, texts, or mobile data there using your iD Mobile SIM.

 

We understand this may be disappointing, especially if you were hoping to receive authentication texts whilst travelling.
