Can't send or receive texts PAYG

Sarah9090 — Tue, 06 Apr 2021 09:53:54 GMT

My android phone has suddenly stopped sending or receiving texts. I can still receive incoming calls, but not incoming texts and I can't send texts Either. It was working fine and I was texting back and forth with someone and then suddenly my texts would not send. I tried to check my balance but texts to 150 will not go through either. I then tried to top up online and that did not work either. I tried to call 150 and it said I did not have enough credit to make the call (I am currently outside of the UK) I think September 2020 was the last time I topped up, but I'm not certain. My SIM is an old T-Mobile one if that makes a difference.

Hi @Sarah9090

Welcome to the community.

Did you receive any messages from us recently about your phone going into hibernation?

Do your calls go through OK?

Could you try connecting manually to a different network provider please, @Sarah9090?

There are only 3 networks available to me in the country I am currently in, and orange (which I was already on) seems to be the only one I can connect to. The other two say 'unable to connect. Try again later' @Christopher_G
