48 does not allow entry to text entry competitions that require premium text. Why?

    So, there I was, all set to win 150k like everyone else on the Newstalk Play competition, only to find that 48 does not allow one to do this, even when your account is in credit. Why have they blocked (and seemingly have never offered) Premium Text. As I now intend to win!!!😁 the 200k this Friday, what is a good alternative to 48 that does allow premium texting. The stance of 48 is a big mystery to me. I want to switch not because of the competition where my chances are negligible but more to do with my fundamental belief that a network provider should not have the right to block a citizen from a legitimate activity.

    To offer this service it would cost them money to imlement and they are all about low costs. If you want premuim rate sms you can change provider to one that does offer the service you want.

    change your provider and pay more.

    48 target market is people who want fixed bills with no surprises. Its a no frills offering.

    Your provider is doing you a favour. Don't waste your money.

    If you add credit to your account with 48 does it not cover premium texts. That said I previously had entered the Newstalk competition and texts now do not send yet I have credit on my account so maybe something has changed
