Carrier Shortcode Blacklist

T-Mobile Shortcode Blacklist

T-Mobile users in particular seem to have shortcodes blacklisted by default (although this may vary by plan). There does not currently seem to be a way to change this preference within a T-Mobile customer's online account access, however T-Mobile has said that the block can be removed by T-Mobile support.

T-Mobile calls this setting "Shortcode Blacklist". To remove this setting, the mobile user must call 611 directly from their T-Mobile device experiencing the issue – or if using another device, call 1-800-937-8997 – and request “Shortcode Blacklist” setting to be removed from their account.
