One time passcodes

[Veee]

Hi there

For some reason I can no longer get OTPs.  They used to work fine, then last Saturday (30.01.21) they stopped coming through and I cannot work out why.  I've checked my blocked numbers and I'm sure they are ok, and I've reset the network settings.  Nothing is working.  It means I can't access parts of my banking and can't pay for things through my credit card as they always send an OTP.  Please help!

Hi everyone
I’m not sure who, but someone at O2 has resolved my issue and I had all of my lost texts come through this morning 😁. I’ve no idea what the issue was, but thank you for sorting it!

It appears the general issue was fixed late last night.

Others that had reported problems with texts have also reported a resolution.

Good to hear @Veee. Apparently the network team were made aware of the many people with the same issue and it was sorted.

I know this is a very old thread but I am having the same issue. It's very frustrating. Can anyone help?

Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately I have tried all of the above barring trying the sim in another phone. I think it is a problem with o2 as it's only o2 numbers and otp that is an issue unfortunately 😞 everything else works fine

I would try the SIM in another 'phone if at all possible ; that facilitates you narrowing the problem down to handset or SIM. 

If you live locally to an O2 retail store, it might be worth popping in and getting a replacement SIM, just in case your SIM is deficient :-
