Hi. I am not receiving sms messages from Australia. I need these for online banking.

I'm in the UK and I have global roaming turned on. Recently I changed my phone. Not sure if this is an EE problem or a new phone problem... Can anyone help please (I can't get thro to EE on the phone!)?

Sorry - not sure why I would need to restart my phone. Please can you clarify?

Hi @123EE

To see if you receive the text messages that have been requested, this can sometimes help.
