Unable to receive short code message from bank in hong kong since Apr 24, 2021

I was able to receive short code message from bank in hong kong for a year or so. It didn't work initially (around Sep 2020) but it worked suddenly sometime in 2020. I don't remember when. But it stops working since April 24, 2021. Anyone aware of any system change since April 23. It was the date that I got my last short code SMS from my bank.

Does your bank support  TOTP codes generated by an app instead of SMS? That would be best if supported since then your phone needs no network connectivity at all for that...

You could get a paid TextNow account.

 

Yes! TextNow supports verification codes. The following plans and subscriptions support receiving verification codes: 

At this time our Free WiFi-only service accounts do not support verification codes.

Public mobile supports short code messages from certain companies.  I am kinda surprised that it supported short code texts from Hong Kong. 

 

There was a system maintenance on April 18.  Not sure whether that affected your situation.  Maybe the Hong Kong bank changed something.  

 

Here is a list of companies supported by Public mobile for short code texts:
