Hello @Nxthanyanoo ,

/ Welcome to the community,

Have you activated your SIM card/

Are you on pay as you go or monthly contract/

If on pay as you go, you would need to make sure that you have enough credit to make calls and send text.

Please text AL to 150.

Does "I brought a new number" mean that you have ported a number into EE from another network?

If so, porting data is produced on your original network to direct calls & texts to your current network. If you can only receive calls & texts from other EE users, then this suggests there's a problem with that data. You should contact EE-CS who have a process to raise this with the networks in question. They need to resolve it, but on instruction from your current provider.
