[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 am also disappointed and may need to change to another provider because of this issue, my diabetes nurse wanted to set up a text reminder using 85025 for me to send my blood pressure readings to her twice a day but I can’t reply to her due to this situation with smarty.
Buckbam Are you sure that you cannot receive the reminder text?
If Smarty did introduce the system, would they be included in a Smarty plan? If not, would you pay to send a text twice a day?
How does your diabetes nurse deal with patients who cannot manage. or don't have, a mobile phone?
Hi yes I can receive the messages but can't reply with my BP readings, I have to write them down and give them to her at next appointment.
If I could send readings she can monitor BP better.
