Does Telus / Public Mobile support the Twitter short code 21212?

It worked when I was with Rogers but I ported over and it stopped.

If you want an official response, you'd have to contact the Moderator Team, or other actual staff.

How do I contact the Community Moderators?

• For your convenience, here's a link to send them a private message.
• Here's how to read and reply to private messages.
• For more detailed information, read the knowledge article.

When will they get back to you?:

• Support hours are in EDT and run Mon-Fri 9AM to 9PM, and Sat-Sun from 9AM to 7:30PM. Outside of these hours they will not be responding to private messages, and will be queued for the next day. So don't worry, they will get to you.
• Messages are responded to in the order in which they are received, which can affect response time depending on queue length.
• Usual response time varies between 1-3 hours, but can take up to 48 hours.
• Please do not send multiple separate private messages, as it slows down support.

Anyone know how I get a reply from Telus / Public Mobile?  Maybe it’s an oversight they can easily correct.

Public has said in the past that they support Twitter's 21212 and 40404 short-codes in this thread from 2015, but that either has changed or broken based on what others have said in this thread. I personally have used none so they may work.

I found this web page, seems like it is Public Mobile, but... I think it is old Public Mobile Community before Telus purchased it OR before Public Mobile Community moved to a new network platform.

Thanks - too technical for me and 100 probably not enough.  Anyway to ask Telus to implement? Seems most carriers do.  Not sure why they wouldn’t.

@vanhalen26 There is a workaround posted by @Cheetah24: click here

Oh, that’s unfortunate.  I picked up some good information in real time that way from some twitter accounts I follow.  How do I request that this gets added?

@vanhalen26 No support for Twitter short code 21212 nor 40404

Yes they do, you are able to short code with Telus as well.
