SMS not fully working since transferring number accross from O2


I have just move to ID from O2 3 days ago with a new iPhone 13.  Transferred my old number 2 days ago.  I noticed that bank two factor authentication SmS  codes were not being received.  Spoke to ID and Apple, Apple have looked at the new phone through a remote screen share.  I had an another new Sim this morning via Currys and reactivated by ID.  Now iMessage does not work.  When I look on iMessage “send and receive”. The phone is not able to verify the number transferred to the sim.  When I swap the sim to another iPhone the same problem.  I am presuming there is either in ID server problem, or the sim/number transfer has not fully worked and may need reconfigurating.  I am now waiting for ID to reply following escalation to their technical team.

I have done 1-4

ID have suggested other processes which have not helped.

Apple have been very helpful.  I have swapped the sim into another phone and the same problem is occurring.  So it is nothing to do with the settings in the iPhone 13

Dear Josh

 

No results so far.  I have escalated this to the CEO of ID who is currently out of office ( Mr Vedi). I have also copied in Mr Baldock overall CEO of Currys.

Good luck

Dear Josh

 

I have had no resolution as yet.  I have replied to you already, including the email address for the CEO of ID and Currys, but the message has been sent for moderation, so you may not receive it.  I have emailed the CEO asking for help.

 

cheers

 

Geoff

Just to keep you updated, I had some success. I spoke to someone on the support chat and they removed the adult content filter from my mums account which was preventing OTP codes/ 2fa codes from making it through, hope this helps maybe.
