Hi, I am currently overseas and activated international roaming before I left. I can receive sms's but cannot send them. Keep getting an error advising that I cannot send, sending failed. Trying to send to another Australian number. Please assist. Thanks

Hi @CandyB, you have to have a sufficient prepaid balance in order to send SMS. Whilst receiving SMS while on roaming is free, sending SMS, using mobile data, and making/receiving calls will incur roaming charges. You can check the roaming rates at https://www.tpg.com.au/mobile#international-roaming

 

Also, here's how you can top up your prepaid balance: https://community.tpg.com.au/t5/Accounts-and-Billing/How-To-Top-Up-TPG-Mobile-Prepaid-Balance/td-p/1...

 

If you have a sufficient prepaid balance but still unable to send SMS, please send us a private message so we can take a closer look at your account.

 

Thanks,

Aubrey
