@PollyW

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

Are you trying to send to a shortcode number ? PlusNet don't support sending messages to shortcode numbers

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.

Re: Can’t send texts

Sorry, no idea what a shortcode number is.  I'm trying to authorise a paypal payment.  Why should that be a problem?  Your advertising doesn't say that you don't offer a full service!  How can I resolve this?

@PollyW a shortcode is a 5 digit number. I don't use Paypal myself but I believe the authorisation check DOES come from a shortcode no, 62226 if I recall correctly https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?p=74932849  In which case you will not be able to reply to it from your PlusNet mobile unless there is a full mobile number equivalent.
