Hi, please I need help
I just moved my number to EE, however I’ve been trying to move most of my accounts to the new device, but when I get sent an authentication code like from my bank, I don’t receive the text message. I requested a pin from BT to activate my smart benefit, but the message didn’t come in either. However I receive regular text messages like from my wife and also iMessages too. I’ve restarted the phone, I’ve updated everything I need to update as regards phone numbers and messaging
please any ideas, as I need to factory reset my old phone

Hi @Adim87
When did you port your number into EE - which day?
'
You've said you can receive text messages from your wife ok, but how about any other pbones?
And can you receive calls on your ported number?
