Why am I not receiving SMS on my Georgian SIM card (Magti) while abroad, and how to fix it?
Based on 1 discussion with 3 participants · Last activity: 13 days ago
TL;DR
SMS delivery on the Georgian carrier Magti can stop working while roaming, especially in Russia, due to connection type or number restrictions. Staying connected to a single operator/tower and waiting about 24 hours usually fixes it.
What the community said
If SMS from Magti stop arriving while roaming, manually lock your phone to one specific carrier in network settings instead of switching between operators. Users report SMS delivery usually resumes automatically after about 24 hours.

One traveler in Russia reported her Magti number stayed active, she rebooted the phone and checked settings, but SMS still didn't arrive even after trying different local carriers.

There can be several reasons SMS fail to arrive: a blocked number, roaming-provider quirks, or the connection type. If your number is registered with your bank and push notifications are enabled, they'll still arrive even without an active SIM in the phone.
