Hello NIMHIM37,

 

  Welcome to the community!

 

  In addition to what has been previously mentioned regarding contacting Fido, is your phone connected to the local networks in the Country you're visiting? In order to receive text messages, you phone would somehow need to connect to the networks. That is, your phone would need to have any Airplane or Flight modes disabled

 

Hope this helps 😀

 

Cheers
