[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!
I just hit another problem with shortcodes today - Barclaycard now uses shortcodes to ask you to confirm transactions (and you can't ask to do it via their app) - I couldn't reply and spent 30 mins on app and phone trying to approve the transactions - so will have to change to another provider
Brian_1987743 As I'm sure you now realise, Smarty do not support the whole short code system (except for one or two exceptions i.e. PAC, STAC)
If it is going to be important for you, unfortunately you will need to change to another network.
yes I'll have to change, as Barclaycard now use short codes to validate some transactions, and not being able to do that is very time consuming - sorry to have to chnage, I liked Smarty & they have been talking about allowing shortcodes from nearly 2 years ago
