Log into your iD Mobile account and make sure that the “Premium” option located on the My services page is turned on. Also, make sure that you don’t have your spend cap set at zero.

Not all short codes work with iD Mobile.

It’s their network partner (three), who determine which short codes work and those that don’t.

There’s a cost checker for short codes here - go to the 8. Shortcodes” section to use the checker.

I've just taken my upgrade. New handset won't let me send premium text to radio competition. No bother with my old phone and sim. Spending cap is set and premium services turned on

Hi @DJH144, As mentioned in the post above yours, not all short codes work with iD Mobile. Did you use the checker to confirm that texting the number is supported on the iD Mobile network?

Why iD Mobile?
