You can’t. Prepaid does not roam internationally except Canada, Mexico and select countries in Europe. Prepaid does not roam anywhere in Asia. The only way you can receive SMS messages is if you have WiFi calling activated and it works from whatever country you are in. WiFi calling doesn’t work from everywhere.

No. WiFi calling can only be activated from the US. If not previously activated, it’s not possible to activate from abroad.

You can't with AT&T prepaid. You will have no service because you cannot roam.

   There is no solution, you will continue to have no service until you return to a service area

你不能 除加拿大,墨西哥和欧洲某些特定国家/地区外,Prepaid不会在全球范围内漫游。预付不会在亚洲任何地方漫游。接收SMS消息的唯一方法是,如果您激活了WiFi通话功能,并且可以在您所在的任何国家/地区使用,WiFi通话就不能在任何地方使用。

Can I activate the WiFi calling function when I am abroad?Thank you very much!
