Hi had to put the sim in another phone to insert the SMSC number because on checking it was the number of my previous provider. Don't know why cos it was a new SIM and new phone. I also had to download another messaging app cos it still wouldn't work. As it stands now stil not receiving text with verification code from Amazon, PayPal, Bank of Ireland. Spoke to Amazon they said all was ok their end I checked the telephone number and country code all was correct. Amazon said messages were definitely being sent it was an issue with my provider. I'm also not able to send picture messages, but I can live with that. I did speak to 2 people on chat after they checked all my settings they just said 48 does not block any numbers and then they end the chat with Thank you. Sorry for waffling 😁
Thanks for the info.
Unfortunately it looks like some 48 users hit this problem with not receiving such two factor authentication security text messages.
It doesn't make sense to me (and I and many others have no problems receiving such texts) why this happens and unfortunately it looks like 48 have not been able to explain it or sort it out for some users.
I agree that if you can't get such texts then it makes 48 useless for you...

Unfortunately some others have had the same problem with security texts and were never able to get it sorted so I think that they had to leave 48. Hopefully that's not the case here but it might be...

I too cannot receive these OTP bank verification codes since joining 48 in Jan2021
I have reordered sim - no effect still not receiving codes.
I have put my 48 sim on my old phone that dooss actually recieve these codes.. but that does not work with my48 sim on my old phone.
I have put my sons 48 sm in my new phone and CAN get the codes then at that point using my sons 48 sim.
So all testing points to the issue that either: how 48 have set up my account or the message settings that they have sent me... are wrong!!!!
But no one in 48 is helping to resolved this. They just closed the incident ticket that I had raised to look into this issue.. and washed their hand of the problem!!

If you are able to send/receive any other texts then the SMSC number is correctly configured and settings are not the problem so it must be something on the 48/network side alright.
I don't really understand why 48 support can't give you better service and sort the problem out for you. That's very disappointing...
