Unable to receive SMS when abroad (Monthly Contract)

Hi everyone,

 

I am currently abroad in the EU for an undefined period of time due to the current Covid19 crisis.

My current contract is Unlimited Data Max since October/November (can't exactly remember).

Before that, I used to receive SMS for Multi-Factor Authentication with no problem, even when abroad with no data on.

 

After I switched to the Unlimited Data Max plan, I am unable to receive SMS whilst being abroad, whether in the EU, Asia or US. 

 

I have checked my APN settings, and I set them up according to this: Vodafone Guide 

 

Additionally, I am unable to use the chat as it says "Loading, please wait" indefinitely 

 

Sincerely,

Addendum: I am also able to make phone calls whilst being abroad, to the UK and to French numbers, but I can't receive SMS texts

Hi @victornoctex 

 

I am wondering if this is anything to do with roaming for an extended period.
