SMS number restriction
Just found out that there is some restriction to number like 15888, 39993 and etc. Yoodo told me it only works with 20999. I can't check my saman or enter contest thru sms. Makes me wonder, what the use if it is restricted?

Hi Mee Lin,
I think this is probably due to these SMS having different charge rates (by the respective vendors) and the SMS bundle we purchase is for standard SMS only. Since Yoodo doesn't have pay-per-use, they will not be able to determine the different charge rates for different content service providers and pass on the charge to users. But yes, I guess this is a bummer for those who wish to use these services. I personally do not enter contests so can't help you there. Alternative way for checking saman is via online or smartphone application.
Maybe Yoodo can add a 'special SMS' bundle in the future, but I doubt this will be a priority unless a overwhelming number of people request for it.
Hope this helps.

Hi HOO MEE LIN thanks for raising it up. You're right in that there are a few numbers which are restricted to be sent - since our model is not a pay-per-use we couldn't include that in the bulk SMS pricing plan that we have now.
ADNAN BINSAJAD HUSSEIN is also right in that if there's more requests/demand for this, we'll look into how we can add it on.
However, on you raising this up, we're also looking into to see if there are any of these restricted numbers that we can allow first moving forward - once I have more detail or resolution on this, I'll post it up as well. Will keep you posted on this, thanks :)

Guys, thanks for replying and looking into this matter. My point is Yoodo should make this known to the public if the Yoodo sms plan does not cover certain numbers as exactly what other telco is so user like me would not bother to consider to subscribe the sms plan in the first place.

HOO MEE LIN you're absolutely right!
Will get this updated in our FAQ asap. Thanks for highlighting it and apologize for the inconvenience caused.

Hi SYAHRIZAN BIN ISMAIL banking, TAC SMSes aren't on the restriction list. I think once I get someone to update the FAQ with the list of restricted numbers - that'll help to explain this further.

just now I'm opening a new account at bank.they send me sms with instructions to activate the online usage for first time. then i need to reply to their number.
Unfortunately I can't reply it eventhough I'm on sms plan.
they use 66XXX numbers.after failed to do so,I went to ATM and activate my card there.
Then I can use my card.No issue with TAC.the issue is only when we wants to reply their sms.

Hi theJeff, maybe you can publish the list of numbers which are allowed.

Hi FAIZUL BIN MOHD DOM, there's No restrictions on In-Coming SMSes if your Yoodo account is active actually :)

MOHD HARITH AKMAL BINZULFAIZAL FADILLAH ahh glad it's solved!
Like I posted before, there are no restrictions on in-coming SMS-es. If there seems to be an issue.. it could be slow, etc
