Piranha Mobile Sim Card

[SeamusMacD]

To follow up on this story:

Piranha support got back in touch a couple of days ago with instructions to retry sending an SMS message. The phone acquired the SMS Center Number (+48790993080) and I was able to send (and receive) SMS messages. This is the same SMSC # that would not "stick" previously and that kept being replaced as the phone refreshed it's connection with the carrier. I retested this morning and SMS texting worked again (testing was limited to US-based carrier numbers and was using AT&T since it's the strongest signal where I live). Hopefully, others who have had texting issues will find they are also resolved!

Thanks to Piranha-Mobile support for sorting out the problem!

[As a new member on prepaidgsm forum, I ended up writing on the same issue in a second Piranha thread after it appeared that my first post had well and truly fallen through the cracks and was never going to get the moderator approval I needed as a new posting member. I'm posting the resolution of the issue in both threads also for the sake of completeness and future keyword searchers!]

I replied to your PM just over a week ago, apologising for not seeing it or the posts for a few days. During this time I was driving across Europe a couple of times.

But as I said, maybe someone else had approved the posts by then.

The automatic pre-moderation of some posts by new members is to reduce spam, but yes it sometimes delays the innocent from appearing. About two dozen spam ones were removed the other day, and few more since, so there are currently no unapproved posts. There are regular checks, but not necessarily on arriving at a hotel after midnight.

On reflection I've merged the short thread about text issues into here, and removed duplicate posts.

Thanks for merging the posts and for your work moderating here - the general Piranha Mobile Sim Card thread is the best place for it.

I appreciate the need and there was no criticism of the moderation intended in my comment - I was just explaining why I posted twice on the same topic.

But, I didn't post the second time until after emails to the moderator, the webmaster, and info@prepaidgsm had all gone unanswered. Like I said, I thought my first posting had fallen through the cracks and then shortly after I did a second post, both were approved!

Edit: Are the posts by the other posters in the short Piranha texting issues thread still available in the original thread? I can't seem to find it and I'm wondering if they have been deleted or if it's just something temporary while the search engines deal with the recent editing changes.

That thread is fully merged into this one (in chronological order), without a forwarding link from the old.

Posts 325 to 327. Your later ones on that were effectively duplicates once merged here, so just single copies now.

Good idea merging the two threads completely. With the low posting volume, it makes sense to have all the Piranha information together. Thanks.
