Re: Bb line number

You text from your mobile phone ... texting from a landline requires atypical capability.

Superusers are not staff, but they do have a direct line of communication into the business in order to raise issues, concerns and feedback from the community.

@Megawrecker 

If you'e on SOGEA (no landline) or FTTP then I believe the TEXT link doesn't work - it need's the landline number.

 

You either have to phone support or wait until a staff member picks up this thread - as they tend to be thin on the ground this could be days.

@Megawrecker 

Stupid question time - did you text "HELP" as per the support page?

@jab1 

If the OP is on SOGEA or FTTP then there is no landline number to add to the account.

Re: Bb line number

@bmc Maybe I wasn't clear enough, @bmc - I meant the mobile number, I am well aware that SoGEA/FTTP connections do not have a land-line number.

As far as I'm aware the mobile number doesn't work either.

Re: Bb line number

I had heard that rumour, although  some seem to succeed. The only option in that case is to call.

I have an escalation on this - if I understood correctly if the mobile is referenced on the account it should work.

@Townman 

iI was considering asking for an escalation on this. It's not the first time this question has been asked on here.

 

PN need to change the wording on their Support page to state either that texting "HELP" doesn't work on SOGEA or FTTP or. if it does work with mobiles then the number needs to be added to a Users account in both the landline and mobile numbers.
