Hi, I'm in Spain and I am unable to receive text messages, including verification codes to authenticate purchases and access to all manner of sites and services. How can this be fixed? Thank you.

Morning @bumers 

Thanks for coming to the community. 

Sorry we have no text service or account access on the community to check this for you.

To get the account looked into would you would need to call us and speak to one of our pay as you go guides, they can take a look to see what is needed to get this resolved for you. 

Leanne.
