M1 receiving OTP sms overseas

[Jumpman23]

Anyone knows if it is possible to receive (not send) sms, e.g. OTP, while overseas without subscribing to roaming package?

It is possible to receive SMS while overseas without charge, provided you have some form of roaming (autoroam, pay-as-you-roam...etc) provisioned.

Roaming is required.

Without Roaming VAS your mobile can't connect to the overseas telco.

Since it not connected to the overseas Telco how to get SMS.

But it been a while since I last roam overseas so not sure now roaming can get SMS.

Apparently M1 has pay-per-use roaming service, which does not have subscription charges and activation fees, and is enabled by default. With this I should be able to connect to overseas telcos and receive SMS (free) and not incur additional costs if I don't send sms/make calls.

"Pay Per Use Roaming (PPUR) allows you to use your M1 Postpaid for calls and SMS when you are overseas.

If you subscribe to PPUR, any roaming calls and SMS usages are chargeable at 20% on top of prevailing roaming rates. There is no registration fee nor monthly subscription for PPUR.

This roaming service is ideal for occasional travellers.

Pay Per Use Roaming (PPUR) is enabled by default on all Bespoke Plans. No activation of Pay Per Use (PPUR) is required."

Yes, PPUR is free.
Disable Data Roaming if you don't need it.

Both incoming and outgoing calls are chargeable via Roaming, but only outgoing SMS is chargeable.

Does this work for a M1 prepaid card? Can activate PPUR for prepaid card?

PPUR is supported in M1 Prepaid. But destinations and rates differ from Postpaid plans.
