I cannot send short code premium message despite my message and phone setting allow it (Xiamo Redmi 11). How can  I fix this. Has ID blocked it?

Hi ​@LG1986,

 

We're sorry to hear you're experiencing the same issue.

 

For premium texts to work, you'll need to make sure you have a bill cap in place (anything above £0.00) and that Premium Services are enabled on your account.

 

To check or change your bill cap:

  1. Log in to the iD Mobile app or My Account online.
  2. Go to Bills.
  3. Select Manage Bill Cap.
  4. Increase it if it's currently set to £0.00.

To enable Premium Services:

  1. Log in to the iD Mobile app or My Account online.
  2. Go to My Services.
  3. Select Manage my services.
  4. Make sure Premium Services is switched on.

 

Once you've made any changes, restart your phone and try again. If this does not work, please let us know and we would be happy to take a deeper look into this for you. 

 

Regards,

Thanks, Gemma - I have already tried all the above and it hasn't worked so your further support would be appreciated.

 

Thanks, Liam
