Solved: SMS over wifi

BK60 · ‎25-07-2023

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

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

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!

Maybe they don't know so just guess?
