No amaysim Service Overseas?

Currently overseas in germany at the moment and my amaysim plan is showing as 'No Service' and unable to recieve texts to my australian number whatsoever; using a local sim atm and obviously not expecting any calls or data from my amaysim but being unable to receive sms messages without a roaming plan sucks for everything that sends you a verification code, and I definitely remember receiving SMS messages while overseas before in NZ and Japan. Anyone know if this is a recent cost-cutting measure by amaysim?

edit: enabling international roaming in amaysim settings allowed my sim to connect to a local provider and receive text messages

    By default roaming is disabled for your amaysim account, you can however enable it at any time through Settings in My amaysim.

      I have noticed the same in Timor-Leste. I logged a ticket with them and after days of trying to resolve they said it was a problem with the local provider and gave a full refund.

      sorry! figured this out and had a busy day and forgot to update my forum topic afterwards, this did work! weird the way they word it it seems like enabling intl roaming doesn't do anything without buying a pack first (but actually does)

    When I was in HK earlier this year I found the same thing, no provision to receive a SMS without a roaming pack added.

    you may need to manually select each network provider and see if theres access,

    in japan the automatically select network wasnt working, it also changed in different cities.

    You need to manually turn it on the amaysim app. Also try manually selecting a network provider.

    Pretty amazing!
    After spending over 100 grands with Telstra I asked to give me a 2FA just south of Germany, to rent a bike from a charity. Took them 3 days and cost me $70.
    Coles mobile using Optus gets incoming texts thru.
    Boost on the other hand charged me 2x $40 for service in India. nothing worked, lost 80 bucks. Same in Europe.
