COVID Results SMS Delivery PSA

I recently went to get checked at a drive-thru centre with my partner. She got the results the next day and I didn't. Turns out the number they use to send out results are in the SPAM list. I had to clear out all the numbers in my blocked contacts ( unaware that were so many added by true caller and similar caller id apps)

Just a PSA. thanks :)

  • Which state?

  • Unfort some idiots report the number as spam on Android….

    • That number shows up as VW service centre. Weird

  • +1

    It also depends where you get tested too. If they're using Healius expect a wait if it's at the end of the week as the swabs are sent to Queensland.

    • That’s risky

      • I should mention it happens in the GP led clinics, but COVID swabs in general have been sent all over the country as labs get overworked.

        Toll probably have no idea what some of their packages are really containing 😉

  • I skipped over article recently that said scammers is now targeting people with fake “results” messages.

  • Turns out the number they use to send out results are in the SPAM list.

    Think you mean it was on your SPAM list…. Many 1000 people a day get results without issues.

    • Never added the number manually not sure how it got there even. Could be only me

      • Scroll up on the message, any earlier messages from this number you might have blocked?

        What android phone do you have? Samsung? Might be a samsung thing :(

        • iPhone user actually . Nothing can thru once I unblocked the number
