Has something changed (well obviously it has!) . I can no longer send a text to a short code number, I have sent messages to this number before for a year or two , up until a couple of weeks ago. I haven't changed any of my out of plan preferences ( I have checked my settings ).  I still have a full amount cap in place and have my account set to send out to premium numbers and short code numbers ?

Hi @Wispa,

Welcome to the Community!

Have you checked that your phone doesn’t have any premium SMS restriction?
