[Announcement] BIG NEWS: You can now text shortcodes! 🎉
I am currently on vacation in Phoenix.
Have bought an iPhone 13 mini.
So, having to download and install apps.
I am successfully receiving short code messages with 2 Factor Authentication codes etc whilst installing apps etc.
JJP2 Could that be because your service is being supplied by a local network that does support short codes?

Smarty has always supported incoming SMS from (non premium rate) short codes - it's sending to short codes that isn't supported (although there are a few exceptions, such as texting 65075 to request a PAC).

SmartyTrousers @With respect, customers are more concerned (and have complained more vociferously) about exactly that!

I know - the point I was making was that receiving a message from a short code, as JJP2 had, has always been possible on Smarty, and was not necessarily just due to the fact that he or she was roaming.

Ah, good point.
My Smarty SIM is roaming on T-Mobile USA. Although for data, I am using a ‘US Mobile’ eSIM on the Verizon network.
