Hey
I just upgraded my mobile contract yesterday to a data only contract with a microsoft surface pro x, I was told I could still receive text messages and set up whatsapp on this, can you help with how to set this up.
I can see an app called messages but it doesnt give facility to send and isnt receiving any test messages I have sent so may not be set up right.
thanks
Stewart

@Stewart75
The Microsoft Messaging app, is only for operator generated messages.
It doesn't support sending or receiving text messages.
