Hi @SLB42 call sky on 150 so they can look into this for you.

Re: Not receiving OTP code from santander
Could it be a setting in your new phone that is blocking the OTP, I would know any settings that might be causing this but is worth looking into. In the meantime do you have another unlocked phone you could try the sim in to see if it then comes through ?

Re: Not receiving OTP code from santander
Did you move your SIM from old to new phone or activate a new SIM?

Re: Not receiving OTP code from santander
Hi @SLB42 one thing that has been mentioned before is check your monthly spend cap isn't set at zero as this apparently can have an effect.

Re: Not receiving OTP code from santander
I bank with Santander and have an iPhone and receive the codes @SLB42 so it may be something on your account that needs looking at.

Re: Not receiving OTP code from santander
I'm going to contact them. I've just gone back through texts & on the day I swapped everything over to the new phone , I did receive an OTP to re log in to the banking app, so this has started to happen since then .
first time since then that I've needed to transfer money to another bank ,

No longer receiving OTPs
I'm not longer receiving OTP sms from Santander, this has never previously been an issue but causing massive disruption. I've tried all the suggestions I can find online eg. turning airplane mode on/off, resetting phone etc.

Re: Not receiving OTP code from santander
I am having the same problem, tried logging on this afternoon to pay a bill and download my statement. No dice. Not made any changes to my phone, SIM, nothing. Came here to see if I was the only one, seems not. That would suggest it's not our accounts, it's either Sky and/or Santander. Nothing on Downdetector or Santanders current service status though. And do you think I can find a number to ring them? Oh no, just log in and ask "Sandi" the virtual system 🙄

Re: Not receiving OTP code from santander
I've found a Santander number to ring today , my banking app told me to ring them as they could see I was having difficulties.
but have just tried to put it in this chat but I've been blocked from doing so .
