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!

    It’s already been said but want to double confirm. Add it via the dashboard, that’s what I do 🙂

    Smarty needs to sort the lack of support for short codes, it's really not good enough in 2022.

    Hi,

    You can add money under the Dashboard heading at the bottom of the app, when you sign in. Unfortunately you cannot, currently, use Smarty to send premium texts or short codes e.g. To radio stations.

    Type Premium into the help section to confirm.

    Hope this reply answers your question.
