Hi, 

I am travelling to Pakistan and SMS messages are not being received. I need it urgently. I got a message that receiving text messages are free. but I don't know what is the thing blocking them. My sim is already connected to the local network.

@Kay_Qu 

If you got a text to say messages are free then surely you are receiving them?

Either way you can call O2 free from abroad and the call is free

From abroad+44 7860 980 202Free†

Or contact via social media

If you message O2 on Facebook ( https://o2uk.co/O2CFB) , Twitter ( https://o2uk.co/O2CTW) or Instagram ( https://o2uk.co/O2CIG) , they should be able to help you with this.

You can also contact people via Messenger or Whatsapp as long as your contacts have these apps. If done over Wifi, it's free.

Try these tips Guide: Text Message Tips (not sent or received) 

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.
