Can't receive texts but everything else works?

Question

So i have this phone...

http://the3dtechnologies.com/db/technology/phone/nokia/Nokia_5300/nokia_5300.jpg

And i've dropped it so many times. But it doesn't have many marks, just a few scratches. But i've dropped it at least once a day. And just recently like every other 3 days. My texting doesn't work. Like, i can send texts. But i can't get texts from other people unless there pictures. I can make calls. And get them. But something is wrong with my texting? Only thing i did was take the battery out and put it back in ( once ). Still done nothing. Ha any help would be great on how to fix this right now. ? Without going into some store.

Answer 1

You might have no network coverage. Take out yur sim card and make sure its in a good state. Place the sim card in another phone and if that phone doesnt worj the sim card is broken. Otherwise your phone itself may be the problem. I reccomend visiting a Phones4U shop or soemthign similiar, they shud be able to trace down and fix you problem

Answer 2

one
