mike111 Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 Mates, I need to receive text messages (SMS) back from Oz, sent from a company. Tried this today, and I've received none. My sim is an "AIS freedom" (NOT an "AIS freedom 3G", just the old network). Any suggestions? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harper99 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Maybe you cantact AIS or just email them your number to [email protected] to find out is there any bar SMS or filter sms in this number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike111 Posted July 24, 2013 Author Share Posted July 24, 2013 tnx. I've tried that. spent (wasted?) lots of time with the carrier's call centre. still not working. they say there were no filters on my number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pib Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Maybe the company only sends SMS's to Oz-based numbers/networks; not international numbers/networks because they don't want to pay international SMS charges. Or maybe you have given them the wrong "complete" number. They would need to use 0011+66+your number (minus the leading 0).

mike111 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 Thanks for the suggestions. The problem seems to be solved: I'm with 1-2-call. I had a phone number which started with 09. The AIS staff suggested to get an sim with a phone number starting with 08, since the former series (09X) have had networking problems with international sms. I bought a new sim (08X) and voila, text messages are now coming through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
