I am having trouble receiving sms messages to activate accounts. I think this is because the Id mobile number won’t change in the settings to my mobile number I transferred across. Really frustrating.

Hi ​@Rabc1  sorry to hear this.

What number shows in your phone settings? Can I ask what handset you are using?

Thank you. 

Are you now using the new SIM?

If yes and you are still experiencing the issue, it would suggest possibly a settings/handset issue. 

What is the make and model of your handset?

 

Is it just the bank that you are unable to receive OTP’s from?

 

Thanks,
