After updating my package I realized that I stopped getting text messages from abroad.

@Rita13 - so you were able to received texts from this number, while being a Public Mobile customer, in April 2023...but now you cannot, once you changed your plan package?

Have you:

  • restarted your phone
  • tried a reset of your network settings on your device
  • tried the SIM card into another phone to see if issue persists?

If after trying the SIM card into another phone, and still having an issue, i'd suggest to ask CSA what the issue could be, and why this happened.

Contact Public Mobile Representatives (CSA) by submitting a message(ticket) to them here: Private Message to Public Mobile Customer Support Agents (CSA)

I was getting texts for years, how I can change what has been changed in my package?

I am in Canada. And I do have an unlimited international text package.

@Rita13 

please note that international shortcode text, like 2FA text from US banks, are not guaranteed., it is a hit or miss. Regular international text are ok but not shortcodes.  It might work here or  on some providers sometime,  experience show it could break.  Since it is not a guarantee service, there is nothing much you can do 

only Canadian shortcode text found here are guaranteed
