    Hi - Thanks, I had a chat with a Support guy yesterday who explained that it's actually like this - 

    "I am sorry its nothing like that, some times due to technical error or server issue it gets delayed. But receiving OTP is not an issue, responding to companies messages or short codes messages is an issue , taking part in contests through text is an issue.

    Issue is in sending texts not receiving them."

      Hi Rebekah - I am not being funny, but have you actually counted the number of messages which are asking the same question? 

      Somehow I very much doubt that it's anything to do with thick customers signing up for data only plans!

      PPlease be honest and tell us what the problems with SMARTY ARE? 

      It's taken me weeks to get 1 of your customer service reps to admit that SMARTY are not yet capable of receiving the OTP (2FA) Codes from most companies - Apparently your engineers are working on it!

        Sounds odd PeterWh_1550878.

        I'm using a SMARTY SIM and don't have a problem getting 2FA (OTP) codes from anybody.
