Receiving international text messages

My Virgin plan includes international texts but I'm not receiving texts from the UK. The sender is adding the +1 prefix to the number but it doesn't arrive.

Do I need to do something to my account in order to receive international text messages?

Hi there @PhoneUserPerson. Welcome to the Virgin Plus Community, and thanks for your post 🙂

No additional plan or feature is required to receive international texts. 

  • Are you having any trouble sending messages to them? 
  • Are you able to receive text messages from other international numbers?
  • Do they have an international texting plan? 
  • When they send you a message does it appear to go through, or do they get an error or kickback message?
