Problems with 027 cellphone replying to 021 texts.

Erina from Sydenham

Hey Neighbours
Anyone experiencing this?
I am with Spark on 027. They are with Vodafone on 021. (N.B. That may not be the problem tho).
We can get phone calls but have problems with texts.
Problem:
1. I send them a text but they don't get them - all they get is a "beep"? (in their words)
2. They send me a text which I receive, no problem but they don't get my reply!
Of course I can text a new message to say I received it and reply but why is this I wonder?

Whew, hope that doesn't sound too convoluted and thanks for any enlightenment.
And yes, I have checked with my service provider and I'm all good with send/receive .......
Strange ...... seems random cos I have no problems with receiving/sending to other 021 numbers.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
