[Announcement] BIG NEWS: You can now text shortcodes! 🎉
I have - they have to link it to my mobile number and that's the only way currently to access my medical text service. Will need to look at another provider as this happens with my regular blood bookings also. This is a free text service with no charges so frustrating that these are blocked.
It's interesting that the NHS and GP practices are certainly able to send out texts to mobiles and it only requires patients to opt in beforehand.
I regularly receive texts from them and also from a pharmacy and I never need to opt in to their short code number.
This organisation will surely find the same problem with a number of their customers/users/patients so I wonder if it is perhaps worth discussing with them an alternative way of opting into their service.
