Does Public Mobile have good support for SMS Short Codes used in 2-step security.

Hi,

I'm currently using Fongo, but it does not support SMS short codes for 2-step security which is why I want to switch to Public Mobile. I need it for gmail, Apple, hotmail, and a few other services.

I'm in Montréal, Canada.

Is this well supported, or do I need to go with an expensive company.

Thank you.

This should function the exact same way that the other companies allow for. Public is run by Telus the SMS features should be the same! If you still have questions you should reach out to a Moderator!

@pelevesque I'm in MTL and have no issues with short codes. If you do decide to join Public Mobile don't forget to use a referral code for a $10 sign-up bonus.

Thank you so much everyone.

Your quick and thorough answers really put a smile on my face. It's rare to see something like this nowadays. It really motivates me to get on Public Mobile.

I've personally never had any issues with short codes. L

I've been using PM for shortcodes (gmail, FB, stripe) with zero issues so far, approaching a year.

I believe you can switch number without any charge every 30 days too, if you need to activate multiple accounts.
