Why am I not receiving SMS with a local Georgian SIM card on an internet-only plan?

TL;DR
If you only purchased a data package, SMS may not work — you need to add a separate SMS package. The carrier usually sends a notification if service will be paused for a period, so check your balance and whether you have an SMS bundle.

The carrier typically sends an SMS notification warning that services won't work during a specific time window — check if you received this message before assuming something's broken.

If you're on a data-only plan without an SMS package, some incoming SMS messages may simply not arrive — this is normal behavior for such plans with local carriers.
