Hi

So... can you send/receive texts to them?

Can you call/text other network's from your phone here?

Are your friend's abroad on 48/another Irish network also?

Perhap's if they are on 48 or even another Irish mobile network - they need to check/top-up their allowance/balance for sending such text's (?)

Absolutely!

As you said, you would need to ensue you had adequate credit in your balance - & also, that you have the correct code & number - which i'm sure you already know!

I would have to suggest that your friend should also re-check the code they use to send you messages from abroad...it should be (example)
00353 89 *******

I hope this is informative.

🙂

I'm not too sure on iphone's as i have never owned one... but if your phone is functioning perfect in every way on 48, the text issue must be because of another reason!

All i can suggest here is to add some credit to your balance - & text them instead, if it send's & deliver's then from your perspective, your phone is working fine.

Just to be clear - not having credit is not the reason you cannot receive texts from international numbers.

The obvious thing to check - as mentioned above - is that the sender is using the correct number (e.g. +353891234567 if your number is 0891234567).

Yes the sender use the corect number but i believe maybe there is a problem from the network he text me...thanks!
