[Announcement] BIG NEWS: You can now text shortcodes! 🎉
Hi I gather from a few other posts that these are not possible at the moment!
I found this in some information blurb from SMARTY -
" At some point you'll be able to send other kinds of messages which will be chargeable. This will include premium-rate texts and short-codes, which are used for entering competitions, buying ringtones and voting on reality TV shows, and paying for parking."
As other people say they don't indicate when this will be available! I agree with the others that it should be no problem with a decent quality service!
I too, like some other people may well be switching to another provider which doesn't have this problem!
The solution is to switch to a network that offers the service required.
WagdiAb_1208337 can you share what the solution is?
Hi
I have the same problem. I am trying to fix it with smarty right now by emailing them and they are doing well. I will tell you the result. 🙂
I have completely solved my problem. I contacted Smarty's technical support, and they showed great interest in solving my problem until it was resolved. I want to thank them because they were replying to my emails and not ignoring them until the problem was resolved. Thank you Abrar (the person who was communicating with me)
Can you share what the solution is?
As I understand, those text numbers are premium numbers and Smarty does not support sending messages to them.
The other issue I can see is that you do not have a monthly bill where the cost of those messages can be charged to you - you pay a fixed monthly sum for your plan.
I was also wanting to do this.
I do have a monthly bill.
If the answer above applies to me, I will look for a new service provider.
You don't have a monthly credit bill - Smarty users buy fixed plans and top-ups.
Currently the system does not support sending text messages to premium numbers.
