Not receiving authentication sms

[Topmega]

Hello

I just moved my line from freedom mobile to public mobile and I have not been receiving authentication sms code send to my message from 28849 when I login into my investment account. I have also checked my settings if this number was blocked from message delivery but not. Please does anyone have idea or know what I should do.

Thanks

Some investment portfolio companies take up to 7 days to recieve 2FA test messages. Try again after 7 days to see if you can recieve those texts then.

Note:

Switching to the 3G network only will not fix a texting issue as texting works on both the 3G and 4G LTE network. This troubleshooting tip will only work for certain calling issues as pm uses the 3G network for voice calls.

I just tried the Canada Govt website, it works but others like my investment acc is still not working. This is frustrating.

@Topmega  it takes time.. different systems require different length of time.  This is part of porting and not because you are in PM.  Couple more days and you will be good.

I do receive sms from friends just the 2FA SMS am not receiving.

Hope they get it fixed, this is really frustrating I really need to access my account.

This is normal.  The bank do this for security measure to avoid SIM Fraud.  

Same thing happens with short codes.  This system generated app needs time to learn the new "home" of your phone number  

It should be all good in couple days

OH MY!!! S--S do you UNDERSTAND what OP is asking????

He is NOT receiving AUTHENTICATION code from his bank/investment company. Nothing wrong with his service.

Per experience, auth. codes in recently ported MOBILE numbers will take a while to start arriving.

@Topmega- go to Canada Government site and try to log in; they will send you auth. code by SMS. Let us know it That works.

@Topmega 

A few more things to try:

- Clear cache of messaging app. Stop and restart.

- Reset network settings.

Thanks, I tried still not working.

Try putting your phone on 3G (WCDMA) to see if it helps.

this is a different issue.

You are getting regular SMS from friends now?

 It is normal that sms  from financial intuitions (or other shortcodes) won't work right a way, it sometimes take couple days to a week.  this is to avoid SIM fraud.  

Since you ported into PM for 4 days already, you should start getting those 2FA SMS soon, maybe Monday or Tuesday.

 @Topmega : The replies from S--S and hTideGnow  are for porting.....not 2FA texts.

@Topmega 

if you miss it the SMS try to do Rebooting your phone with SIM card freedom mobile,

*what is mean for Rebooting the phone means to turn off your phone and turn it back on again.

Make sure that you have the old SIM card in your phone when you're porting your number. You should get a SMS message from your old carrier asking to confirm if you would like to port your number. Your reply should be: YES.

The confirmation message can take a few minutes to come in. You have 90 minutes from the time of request.

if you stuck with Transferring your old Phone Number,

It has been previously reported that authentication codes such as these may take a few days to begin for a new service with Public Mobile.

See this prior thread for helpful details & discussion:

@Topmega  so, you have not got the message to authenticate the move yet?  You have to reply within 90 mins.  I will  message you the number to call to confirm the porting status.  Please check your Community inbox
