Hi ​@Rachel.sankey 

 

Sorry to hear this, is this with all shortcode/verification texts or just certain one(s)?

 

Tom

Can someone from ID please contact me to sort this out?

THREE, iD Mobile and SMARTY customers are all experiencing issues receiving OTPs. THREE are aware of the issue and are investigating!

 

Hello members.  

We're raised this issue internally and it's currently being investigated. We don't have any details we can share at the moment though, sorry. 

Pete.

@Tom ​@Siân ​@Natalie W

Please can we get some sort of information or update?  I’m reluctant to contact live chat again after how dismissive the agent was last time.

I am increasingly concerned about the complete lack of access to various accounts and websites, not least my banking and the NHS, for an issue that seems to have not resolved within the stated timeframes with escalation steps that similarly do nothing.

Not even with this carrier for 2 weeks and I’m already wanting to complain and report to the ombudsman.

Seems to be working now, just tried to log in to online banking and received verification text.

Can confirm it appears to be resolved for me too.

Edit: having said that, some now work. Others still do not. At least it appears to be taken seriously with the outage banner on the website.

Hi Sian,

Whilst it seems to be fixed for most - I still can't get codes from Blink (blinkforhome.com)

 

Edit: having restarted my phone it does appear to be resolved. Thanks
