You can't receive sms messages over wifi yet unfortunately.

This is such a pain in the backside in this day and age. I hope they can bring in this service as part of their merger with Virgin.

We've all been waiting for it since they promised to bring it in 3 years ago.

No chance with Virgin Media, as they piggy back off EE and Vodafone, and their new sims are Belgian based sim cards...

And VM are also very backwards in the stuff they offer on mobile...
