Can I receive text messages without a card?

In this case, it depends on the time when the short message is sent and the time when the mobile card is inserted. If the time between them is less than 4 hours, you can still receive text messages. If the time between the two is more than 4 hours, you will not receive the message.

The short message will be stored in the carrier system for 48 hours. If the phone is turned off or out of service (which is the case if no card is inserted), the SMS will be kept for 48 hours. As long as you turn on your mobile phone or receive a signal within 48 hours, you can receive a short message within this time. If it exceeds 4 hours, the message will expire, it will not be received, and the message will not be retrieved.

In addition, the SMS fee will be deducted only if the mobile phone receives the SMS. If you don't receive a text message for more than 48 hours, there will be no charge. In other words, if the mobile phone is in arrears, it may not be received even if the card is inserted.

Extended data:

Considering that information beyond the storage time of the system can never be retrieved, it is best for mobile phone users to turn off their phones for no more than 48 hours at a time to avoid missing any short messages.

Mobile phone short messages not only have a time limit, but also have a limit on the number of times they are sent.
