Unable to receive verification codes !!!

[Gg92]

Ongoing & frustrating issue .

I am unable to receive any verification codes from various sources, including banks, doctors etc etc. The issue appears to be with the " Use Premium Message Services" within Apps >Special Access.

These verification codes are used daily to access various accounts. 

Please can Virgin Mobile resolve this issue.

There is a long thread regarding this issue. Virgin acknowledged the problem in July last year. It's more than just the bank mentioned.

If you have it, turning off WiFi Calling can help.

9 months and counting. Don't know if any of the original posters got it sorted or are now out of contact and moved.

Wow. 9 months,  that is ridiculous !!!

Strange thing is with the issue I am having is I have 2 identical phones on my account Samsung A42.  One can receive confirmation/ activation codes , the other cannot. What's all that about !!!

Yep it only seems to effect some. Guess the thread would be longer and taken up by the trade press if it was everyone

Hi @Gg92,

Welcome back to our forums.

Sorry to hear the issue is still ongoing? When you spoke to our team, what was discussed? Were you given further steps by our team? 

Thanks,

Issue still ongoing..

Spoke with 4 advisers. Unable to receive verification or confirmation codes on my Samsung A42 Virgin Mobile.

However I have 2 identical handsets & only 1 is able to receive the codes. I've checked all message settings etc on both handsets & they are identical. 

Which begs the question why???

Come on Virgin Mobile,  can't be that difficult,  can it ?!?!?
