Hey guys

I’m overseas and unable to use my phone other than in airplane mode for security reasons. My bank and others need to send me SMS codes to confirm purchases etc that I’m trying to make. Is there any way for me to access these SMS texts?

Many thanks!

@ME5 

Unfortunately not.

O2 don't support sms over wifi, so you need mobile network turned on.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

@ME5 For texts other than bank codes etc., you can use WhatsApp over Wifi with others who also have the app, if that's any use to you.

I DO NOT WORK FOR O2
