SMS number restriction

    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.

    Hmmm...didn't thought of that...banking activation need sms. Luckily I still have another telco no but eventually I would like to switch to Yoodoo till SHAHRIZAN raised the issue. Thanks bro. Guess I ll need to hold up first.

    Hi, what do you guys mean by banking activation? You need to send an SMS for that?

    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.

    Actually, can you try again? I just checked and if it's bank-related numbers - it's not on the restriction list actually.

    And nop, there's no Mobile Billing, so you can't do PPV related activities in Yoodo, both PPV (pay per view) & PPU (pay per use)

    Understand that SMS restriction for sending out but then SMS coming also block. Yoodo only give permission for TAC banking only as informed by your staff. Kindly strict for sms sent out but not receiving.

    Hi Jeff, is it No restriction on in-Coming SMSes from all 5number eg 22000 ? Your live chat staff said differently. Kindly confirm.

    Any in-coming SMS = No restrictions

    Any in-coming SMS Service (content/premium) that charges you back = blocked

    In-coming banking TAC = No restrictions

     

    Hope that helps :)

    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
