Not receiving 2FA texts after porting
xYorYx Does this apply to all text messages, or is it linked to short-code texts? The problem is that Smarty does not support short-code text service.
I don't have a friend with UK number to test that, but does no short-code texts mean I cannot use SMARTY for 2FA? I have tried with Universal Credit and OFX and not receiving the verification code from either

xYorYx Basically, within a Smarty plan, you can only send a text to a standard UK number. Some organisations do use a standard number to send you a verification code and that works just fine - as an example, smarty do that and so do Santander - there are many others.
I really don't know about DWP and UC though.
I am also assuming that you are using the smarty plan in the Uk and are not Roaming.
