What do I do if I cannot receive OTP/TAC code?
Modified on Fri, 08 Mar 2024 at 03:14 PM
If you are unable to receive OTP/ TAC code, it could be due to:
- Service is in idle mode (not used for a long time)
- Premium SMS is not turned on/ allowed in your device settings
Here are a few ways to self-troubleshoot from your device:
Step 1: Check your spam messages folder. If you have Truecaller app on your device, kindly check spam messages folder on the app as well.
Step 2: Send ‘SMS IN’ to the merchant short code. For example, if you are trying to receive a TAC code from Maybank, send ‘SMS IN’ to 66628 (Maybank shortcode).
Step 3: Restart your device.
Step 4: Enable premium SMS in your device settings.
- Open your device settings > Search for 'Special Access' or 'Premium SMS Access' > Select 'Always Allow'
Note: Premium SMS feature is free of charge. Enabling the feature won't incur additional cost. However, standard SMS charges will apply for sending/replying to the SMS.If you’ve tried all the above steps and are still unable to receive OTP/TAC code, please get in touch with us.
