SMS


I’m unable to send SMS. I simply get a message failed to send notification. Any ideas why? My messages and phones settings are set to the correct number after transferring my old number to my new SIM.

Use the live chat to discuss this. I now have a new SIM on its way to hopefully resolve this issue.

Hi I am in Italy I have two new problems my English bank sends an automated call so I can access my account but this goes straight to voicemail, all other calls no problem. The other SMS messages do not arrive from my Italian bank. I also note that that my voicemail considers ID an untrusted network.

Hello @Sirukomi 

 

Thank you for confirming. 

 

To confirm, are you only having the issues related to text messages when they are being sent from the bank in Italy? Also, is it just the UK bank that are struggling to reach you? Are all other messages/calls in and out working okay? 

 

What network are you connected to in Italy please? 

 

Thanks, 

 

Nat

Hi Nat

UK bank automatic replies go to voicemail but worked pefectly until last month,no problem wth any other calls.

Italian bank SMS does not arrive on UK number all other calls get through, however probably deliberate by bloody minded Italians.

I us ID network who tell me nothing is wrong, also my bank say nothing is wrong ?

 

I hope that helps

As in you're in the UK and your texts aren’t working?

Or you’re out of the UK and your texts aren’t working?

For the UK postcode it states this

There is, at times, heavy usage in this local area.

As a result, you may experience varying data speeds depending on how many customers are connecting to our network via your closest mast.

We’re always working to improve our network and aim to provide the best experience possible.

 

The last sentence is a tad ironic, maybe 3UK should be working harder.
