Can I receive SMS text for two step verification if my phone is in airplane mode? I will be traveling internationally. I will have access to free WIFI.
If my phone is in airplane mode, can I receive an SMS text using the free WIFI?
Maybe and maybe not. It depends on the WiFi, as I noticed while on a couple of flights recently, the airline had in-flight WiFi, but the disclaimer was that you couldn't send SMS texts using it. But most phones and carriers support WiFi calling and other uses of WiFi such as texting.
Good evening, thats a good question. There are some apps that will work for sms over wif, specifically google messages. Standard SMS apps will not work while in airplane mode. I hope you find that helpful!
