The phone is down, the number is kept, can you still receive the text message?

According to Zhao Jin's inquiry. Although users can't make phone calls and use mobile data during downtime, they can still receive short messages, including short message notifications and verification codes. This is because receiving SMS does not require users to use phone bills or mobile data to support it, just make sure that the phone is turned on. In actual use, if the user's mobile phone card is deactivated, some important short messages (such as verification code, flight information, bank information, etc. ) can still be sent to the user's mobile phone through the channel of SMS service provider.

Downtime security number is a service that mobile phones, fixed telephones and cable broadband are temporarily shut down but the number needs to be kept. The mobile phone number protection fee is controversial and has attracted much attention. Downtime number protection is a service of communication operators, which refers to the service that operators can reserve numbers for users who temporarily don't use mobile phone numbers, fixed telephones and broadband, but want to keep their numbers, as long as they pay a certain number protection fee every month.
