By virtue of having bought an add-on, would it be correct to presume that your phone has connected to a US network and received the welcome text message?

You mention "unable to... receive .... texts" but this is normally how the passes are purchased.

Have you tried manually swapping between local networks, and are the symptoms identical across each one?

Hi @Bill011

Or use the message service on the EE app over wifi.

Thanks

Hi, I can't text so I'm unable to do what you suggested , it's not letting me do anything.

I've even tried the relay app it's not allowing me to register as won't connect to the call

Have you been able to try manually connecting to another network as suggested above?
