Cannot receive text

You will not be able to receive text messages until you have first sent a message. The first message sent registers you with the text service.

More than one text messaging product is plugged into the line. Remove other products.

Check service centre number is correct.

Ensure you have subscribed to a Caller Display service and that it is active. You can check this by noting if your phone displays your caller’s number when you receive an incoming call.

If you are using personal user areas please ensure you have given people your user area number and that they are entering it to the end of your telephone number when sending you a text message.

Text has previously been sent and received but you are now only receiving voice spoken text messages, from number 0845 6021111.

This may be due to your line being de-registered at the text service centre. All you need to do is text RESET and send it to 00000. You will receive a confirmation message back. This assumes that your Caller Display service is active and working on your line. Messages sent to 00000 are free.
