[Announcement] BIG NEWS: You can now text shortcodes! 🎉
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.
I know Voxi do support shortcodes “out of the box”.
The fact that ID Mobile, also an MVNO on Three, supports short code use, even on an “opt in” basis, shows that this is possible for Smarty.
I just requested my PAC code from Smarty,
I received the PAC from 60575, the usual PAC code number and another message, from another short code !
So, Smarty as a company sends shortcode messages to its users, but us users can’t use shortcodes to communicate with other companies 🧐
