[Announcement] BIG NEWS: You can now text shortcodes! 🎉
JJP2 I do wholeheartedly agree with you here.
Although I do not seem to be personally affected as my utilities and GP/Hospital don't seem to use short code texts requiring a reply - YET!, I can see that it is a massive inconvenience for many people.
It's not as if we have had any explanation as to why it cannot be done.
Hi MSF I presume, but don’t know for sure, that Three, Smarty’s parent company, allows short code texts. That being the case, it’s not as if Smarty would need to deploy a systems change, software upgrade, etc.
I really don’t want to switch networks, but circumstances beyond my control may sadly force my hand into making a switch.
Three do support shortcodes (including where there could be a charge for them - they just get added to your billing in a separate section).
JJP2 MSF are there many other MVNOs that support this service? I recall that iD Mobile had/has the option to switch on 'premium' within the account settings if that's what you want to do, to enable use of these services.
