What to Do If You Cannot Receive an SMS

If you cannot receive SMS, try these troubleshooting tips:

Check your account

  • Check if your account is active.

Try changing locations to improve your signal

  • If you have low signal reception, try changing locations, preferably somewhere more open and with fewer surrounding obstacles, such as concrete walls.

Optimize your device

  • Refresh your device by turning it OFF and then back ON.
  • Check if your inbox memory is full and delete some messages to free up space.
  • If you cannot receive text messages from a specific mobile number, check if your device has a block list or block status feature. If the mobile number that is trying to send you a message is in that block list, remove it from the list.

Try another device

  • Transfer SIM to another working device to check if you will be able to receive text messages.
