SMS over wifi

BK60 — Tue, 25 Jul 2023 09:32:50 GMT

Hi does O2 now give SMS messaging over wifi, specifically for an iPhone 12? This is critical for me in moving back to O2. There are various old threads on the subject, but I can find nothing on the O2 website. It is critical for me given how much security authorisation now uses SMS security. Thanks

Yes it does work on iPhones.

But only on some Samsung's

Thank you. Do you happen to know why O2 are so opaque about this? I also phoned a couple of o2 shops and they gave me different answers. Its weird!
