[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!
Well as a new user I've come here to figure out why I can't use short codes after topping up my account with out of deal top up thing to realise it was a compete waste of money. If they are going to allow them at least make it obvious so people don't waste money unnecessarily. Tbh I was about to move my other half and kids over to smarty, but with this basic feature missing I might have to head back to giff gaff unless the is a fix close.
Another mug here. Just tried to enter greatest hits radio competition, failed, aades out of plan credit, failed again.
Joined smarty with three family members last month. Will be leaving this month.
I've just done the exact same thing. The out of deal top up blurb makes it seem like that will solve the problem.
It's absolutely unbelievable that we can't do on smarty something we could do back when my phone took AA batteries (1996)....
At least we can convert it into account credit, so next month's DD will be £10 less..
