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!)?

Hi @123EE
To see if you receive the text messages that have been requested, this can sometimes help.
Leanne.

I have been trying to get thro to EE on the phone but no luck so far - been on hold for ages. Will try again!

- I'm tavelling abroad for a few months and i received "make a charge-able action" in Roaming
- EE Mobile Coverage and Service Status Checker in Mobile Network discussions
- Does unlimited full works sim include singapore /uae and australia on roaming in Roaming
- Abroad in the US, can't call or text 150 in Roaming
- Stuck in Australia with voice not working in Mobile Services
