Can I still receive text messages after my phone is turned off?

After the phone is turned off, you can receive text messages. As long as the other party enters the correct phone number, the mobile phone can receive short messages continuously. It doesn't matter if you turn it off, but you can see the message when you turn it on.

Generally, when the other party turns off the phone after sending a short message, it will be stored in the short message center for 48 hours, and it will be received as long as it is turned on within 48 hours.

But there are also special circumstances, such as the system is too busy and occasionally loses text messages. Or the validity period set at the time of sending is shorter than 48 hours, such as 1 hour, and it will not be received if it is turned on more than 1 hour.
