SMS notifications not working

Hi @cdanielm,

Occasionally, we need to re-verify that the phone number that is set up for you to receive SMS messages on is still yours. Check out the Alerts & Notifications section on your account and see if you need to "verify" your phone number again. If you do, that would be why you haven't received any SMS messages today, and is very simple to verify again.

Hi Team, in fact I do need to verify it but I have raised on a previous thread that when I try to do this I do not receive a text message so I don't know if there is an issue with this functionality? I did not receive it either by attempting to verify it through the app or by logging into my account through a web browser. How can I overcome this?

Kind regards

Hi @cdanielm,

After bringing this up with our engineers they found a bug in a recent update to our SMS service that was affecting UK customers' ability to receive any SMS messages from us. This bug has been resolved as of about an hour ago. If you are a UK customer, try verifying your number again on your account to see if it will go through this time.

Hi Team, I am in fact a UK user using an Android system as mentioned above. Unfortunately it is not working for me yet. I have tried to send the verification code from the app or logging in via a web browser in case it was an issue from the android app but I am not receiving the verification code.

I will wait to hear further instructions from you

Hi Team,

I hope you are well. I have had no update on this and I have updated my Simplisafe app with the various updates you have launched. This still does not work for me. If I send the verification code to activate the SMS notifications on my phone I do not receive the code. I do not get it either using the app on my phone or by attempting to send the code via the web browser either. Could you please support me with this?

Thank you in advance.

@ cdanielm suggest you call into support and troubleshoot live. Easiest way to solve issues like this. Also, recommend you cancel SMS and use push alerts. You get them quicker and they are more reliable.

This still appears to be an issue in the UK , no SMS received by wife's phone despite being sent several times
