Texting radio numbers

CiaranMaguire — Tue, 21 Dec 2021 08:51:35 GMT

I want to change my plan so I can enter competitions on the radio how do I do this? Won’t let me send messages to short numbers

Most likely a spend cap on the account.

Thanks

Some short numbers incur a charge - eg, 88291 for BBC Radio 2 will cost you 30p on a PAYG Big Bundle!

You can increasingly use WhatsApp to contact radio stations: 08000 288291 works for BBC Radio 2.

will tell you what you need to do to remove the short number cap, @CiaranMaguire
