Hi
I am now in New Zealand and thought as a PAYG customer I would be able to receive texts free as in
My phone does not work
Is there any way I can get it to work now ?
thanks

@XXlindalZZ Receiving texts and my phone doesn’t work are two different things.
What phone are you using?
Can you make and receive calls ?
can you text out ?
can you use data provided you’ve purchased a data add on ?

Hi Chris
I have a Nokia very basic phone which worked OK in the UK before leaving for NZ
By saying it won't work I mean after switching on I do not get anything happening
It will not start to look for a signal --- just nothing happening
Can't text out can't connect to make or receive calls
The phone will not try to find a signal , I have not purchased a data add on
thnks

Not having network coverage would cause knock-on effects with any service that needs a network connection - that includes calls, texts & mobile data.
EE PAYG SIM's are auto-activated for roaming once they are first used in the UK. If you are sure this was completed, try a manual network search and connect to an alternative NZ network.
