Texts I send to India are not received

Anonymous

Hi there,

I've been trying to sending texts to my girlfriend in India but she is not receiving them although I am being charged for them. I can call her from the same number and she is recieving texts fine from other mobile providers.

 

Any help to sort this out quickly would be most appreciated.  She has just moved out there and I work away a lot so sometimes the only communication we can have is via text so it is very frustrating.  

 

Thanks in advance.

Is she able to send text messages to your phone successfully?

What phone does she have?

 

Has she checked in the message settings that she hasn't accidentally blocked you?

 

Is she using a UK sim or local and has she tried to select a different network?

What phone does she have?

Its an airtel phone.

 

Has she checked in the message settings that she hasn't accidentally blocked you?

Yep just done that. I have not blocked anyone.

 

Is she using a UK sim or local and has she tried to select a different network?

Its a local Rajasthan sim card. Messages are going to most people just not your 02 phone.

 

I'll need to check with her but I think she means she is receiving messages from most people rather than going.  That said I haven't had a text from her for a few days so will ask her...

Okay, it seems like it is definitely something to do with O2 and her phone because I've tried texting from my mate's o2 phone and she didn't get that either.

 

When you say has she tried selecting another network do you mean she can do that from her phone with out another sim?  I don't really have a clue about these things...

 

Thanks

If she chooses manual network selection in the phone settings, it should bring up a list of available networks. Perhaps choosing one of the others will be more compatible with O2.

She's tried that today and unfortunately her phone won't let her change her network...

 

I guess she needs to get a different sim then?

 

Cheers

I had a similar problem in Spain a few years ago.  Changing the network from the default (using my o2 sim) worked instantly.
