Can I still receive short messages such as verification code when my mobile phone is down?

Generally speaking, you can accept text messages and phone calls within 24 hours after the phone stops, but you can't send text messages and make phone calls (except emergency calls).

But if you still don't pay after 24 hours, you can't accept text messages and phone calls. At this time, if someone calls you, you will receive a reminder that the other party has stopped.

How to check the arrears when the mobile phone stops;

1. Telephone inquiry. Whether it is manual service or self-service voice, you can know the current arrears.

2. Log in to the online business hall and enter the password of the relevant account, then you can know the arrears of the mobile phone.
