Can't send sms text mesages to short, premium numbers, special numbers, voting, donating money, fundraising...

Anyone had a problem to send sms/text to a special or short numbers, like radio/tv shows, competition voting, fundraising, charity donating. I have tried several times to different one's, but unsuccessfuly. Is there a problem with Ofono, or it's not supported at all, cos I have not seen such a settings option?

@stefano I have the same issue but it is all down to my sim provider, plusenet. They don't allow text/sms to any charity, TV related payment, voting numbers.

@lakota I'm on Plusnet as well.

A benefit

@stefano There you go, and its not just Plusenet others do the same now think its to stop excessive bills or something like that. Which as mentioned could be classed as a benefit

@lakota Yeah, but when you want to use it, you can't.
