Has anybody got SMS 2FA working on Belong?

I've tried the Belong SIM in various phones/tablets but no luck.

I can send and receive SMS but 2FA SMS from different providers never get through.

I've tried to chase Belong about it. And they asked me to provide receipts, which I did but they never tracked down the reason.

If this is a non resolvable issue, I will have to go else where.

I'm surprised with the results. Seems everyone so far hasn't had trouble with SMS 2FA.

Maybe I've got a bad number that's been flagged as SPAM somewhere. Hmm

Ooof. I think this might be user error.

In the past, whenever given two fields to enter mobile numbers I enter them like so:

Country Code: +61
Mobile Number: 411 222 333

Which tend to work.

With the providers that haven't worked for me in the past, they expect the following format:

Country Code: +61
Mobile Number: 0411 222 333

I have now got it working with the second method.
