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.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
