Hi @Jane S, as @andewhite says, that doesn’t sound right. Not sure why that’s been advised. 

We’ll shortly send you a Private Message to your Community account so we can discuss your issue further.

To access your messages, click your profile picture in the top right hand corner and then click ‘Private Messages’.

Alternatively, if you are currently logged in, you can use the following link: https://community.idmobile.co.uk/inbox/overview

We’ll see you there.

 

Thank you,

Rory

I recently ported my number to iD and now can't receive any OTP messages.  Other SMS seem to be fine.  I see this is a common problem.

Okay @Jane S, when I joined iD Mobile and then ported my number over to iD, I continued receiving my OTP messages from banks etc. 

Have you tried the iD live chat service to get this sorted?

I recommend you chat between 9am and 6pm, and typing “talk to a person” once you get connected - you should avoid the 24/7 chat-bot if you do.

Anyway, good luck.

Thanks @andewhite I just had a live chat.  They said I needed to contact every organisation to tell them I've changed networks.  I don't understand that.  I've kept the same number and receive other messages.

Okay @Jane S, this sounds like nonsense from the live chat team.

When I joined iD and ported my number to iD; I didn’t tell any organisations that I changed networks, yet my OTP messages continued being delivered OK.

What network did you use prior to joining iD?
You could test the live chat solution by contacting just ONE organisation, and tell you’ve been advised to let them know you’ve switched networks, because your OTP messages are not working.

I’d be surprised if that solved the issue though - good luck anyway.

 

I don't seem to have a 'most helpful' button but thank you so much @Rory.  The tech team seem to have fixed the problem.  🙂
