Not receiving OTP / short code SMS after porting to Vodafone

Hello, 

I recently ported to Vodafone and since then have stopped receiving all OTP / verification code messages from  all Banks, Apps, Websites, Microsoft, yahoo, etc. I can however get still OTP messages from Vodafone.  

 

I have tried contacting customer care multiple times regarding this, but all they can say is that they can see no issues with the account.

 

Have tried taking sim out for 5 minutes, multiple reboots, sim in another handset, etc

 

Checked the settings in messaging app, turned off spam blocker, turned off business verification by Google

 

Then technical support offered to disconnect and reconnect the account. Was without service for almost a full day and when it came back, same problem. 

 

Then they said, a sim swap would sort it and sent out a new sim. Still not working.

 

I'm at the end of my tether!!!!! Wish i had stayed with BT....

 

Would appreciate all the help I can get

Thanks.

Not sure if this will help (or you have already read this thread-sorry!)

That thread seems to offer some possible solutions. Hope you get it sorted as I can imagine that's a right pain

vodafone to three on Monday, I’m in the exact same boat as you! Can you let me know if you solved this. As three just keep

fobbing me off! Thanks
