Unicom's mobile phone is in arrears, but can I still receive text messages?

If the phone is in a semi-off state, you can receive short messages. Semi-stop state means that you can't send text messages or make phone calls, but you can listen to the phone and receive text messages.

If the mobile phone is in a full stop state, you can't receive text messages. In the full stop state, you can't call in and call out and send and receive short messages.
