No longer receiving SMS abroad

Hello, 

I need urgent assistance regarding receiving sms (I.e. bank, PayPal codes, government apps) abroad. I travel often to SE Asia and my EE card has always worked well. I pay the simple business monthly charge. Roaming option is on my iPhone, I haven’t changed any other options. 
Please can you assist me?

Thanks.

Kind regards

Hi @E3academyUK 

Welcome to the community.

Are you able to try manually connecting to a different available mobile operator, to see if the messages then come through?

Chris

Thank you for your reply. First it shows dtac and operator and after a few seconds it says no service. I’m not sure why.

OK, thanks @E3academyUK 

Have you been able to receive standard text messages since being away on this trip?

Chris

Hello, I think this is getting ridiculous. No I can’t receive sms since I landed and today I received a notification from EE that to log into this forum I will receive a code on my mobile number. Hence I won’t be able to login to this forum either!. Please understand I can’t log into my visa to the UK app, as well as my bank apps  if I can’t get this fixed. I also made sure I always receive sms when abroad since I travel for work. I really don’t know what to do! Please can you assist me?
