wealthychef Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Hi, I bought a pocket wifi and it looks like maybe I can receive text messages with it, but it wants something called an "SMS Center Number." See below image: When I google variants of "AIS sms center number" I just get 1175 over and over, which is their call center. Does anyone have the magic number that might enable my device to get text messages? This would be a very nice feature given the need to have a Thai SIM to do internet banking.... Thanks!

tweedledee2 Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 There is probably something lost in the translation, but the Center number is possibly the number you want the sms sent too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's the message centre number that has to be configured in the settings of the device before you can send and receive any SMS messages. On regular phones, this is automatically configured for you, the network sends the configuration settings to your phone and it essentially configures itself. On a pocket wifi device such as the one being discussed here, you have to enter the number manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
