Can't text into radio competition

You're probably trying to text a Premium SMS 5XXXX number.

Unfortunately 48 don't support the sending of texts to such numbers at all.

Hope this helps.

Did that help at all @christinehan?

[christinehan]

Yes thank you. Can you up grade so that you can text premium numbers?

[dalyer]

Unfortunately not.

48 simply don't support the sending of texts to Premium SMS/5XXXX numbers at all.

There is no way to text these numbers on the 48 network.

Hope this helps.

That's ridiculous what's the point having a phone that doesn't enter competitions I think I need t

As far as I know the only premium SMS number that can be texted (for free) is 50048 to which you can send "APN" to in order to receive APN internet/MMS configuration settings back by text if your phone supports that.
