Problems with 027 cellphone replying to 021 texts.
Hey Neighbours
Anyone experiencing this?
I am with Spark on 027. They are with Vodafone on 021. (N.B. That may not be the problem tho).
We can get phone calls but have problems with texts.
Problem:
1. I send them a text but they don't get them - all they get is a "beep"? (in their words)
2. They send me a text which I receive, no problem but they don't get my reply!
Of course I can text a new message to say I received it and reply but why is this I wonder?
Whew, hope that doesn't sound too convoluted and thanks for any enlightenment.
And yes, I have checked with my service provider and I'm all good with send/receive .......
Strange ...... seems random cos I have no problems with receiving/sending to other 021 numbers.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
