Can't vote in eurovision!

I'm trying to vote in eurovision which means dialling a shortcode. I've added some "out of plan" credit but still getting a looping "you've not been given access to this service" message. 

Can I not call shortcodes?!

Iโ€™m super disappointed by this. I asked if it was possible to vote in Eurovision with their new short code add on in another thread and was told it was possible. Sick of this.

As a big #Eurovision fan this is extremely annoying. My wife used to be on (ironically) 3 so we'd use her votes. I had forgotten this when she joined me on Smarty recently. So it's now a big issue. I suspect we'll be dropping one of our Smarty plans in time for next Eurovision if they don't fix it. Cheap is great, but cheap for a broken service is not worth the saving.

Hi @Christo_2934468 unfortunately we don't currently support voice shortcodes. We currentlyonly support free and chargeable SMS shortcodes.

The website just says "great news! we now support short codes" we've all been adding ยฃ5 to so we could vote and now we can't. Useless quite frankly 

Customers really should be notified in advance, and it made very clear on the website, as I couldn't find reference to this anywhere. It's a really poor customer experience.
