Can’t send texts

As the subject says. This is the second time since I joined Plusnet mobile on 30/10/18 that my text service has failed. Last time was late November and many others had the same problem then. Neither my wife or I can send texts. Is anyone else having the same issue?

Yes, same for me, my partner can't send too and it's also second time it happened.

Re: Can’t send texts

Trying to call Customer Support to report problem but very busy so maybe others are reporting it.

I'm in the  North Midlands ex Life mobile and I can send and receive Texts so not a national problem

Re: Can’t send texts

Just had a live chat and they said a lot of plusnet customers have been cut off because of problems at their end. It's affecting texts and data. I think calls are ok.

Similar response from Customer Services. At least they now know about it and hopefully will resolve soon.

Wish they updated the service status page.

Re: Can’t send texts

I've lost texts and data too. I also have a work EE phone, and that's working fine, so it's a PlusNet problem.

Re: Can’t send texts

Didn't fix my problem 😞

 

What is the solution?  Lots of security questions need a text message response.

Re: Can’t send texts

PollyW - Does that mean you’ve been unable to send any texts for the whole time since my original posting a week ago? If so, I suspect you have a totally different problem to me and the others who posted on here. In that case, I would advise you to contact Plusnet customer support to get your issue resolved.
