I am not getting SMS notifications
Hi, I am at Amsterdam, Netherlands. I have correctly entered my mobile number in the Settings page but I am not getting any SMS notifications. Even the test SMS is not received. Can you help resolve this issue?

Hello,
Please tell me, did you enter the number with a plus sign and the country/area code in front of it, for example: +48123456789 ? Also, did you try the "send a test" feature three times selecting a different outgoing host from the "number to send from" drop-down menu?
If you did and it still doesn't work, please send your full phone number to david@todoist.com and I will contact our SMS provider about this issue.
Best regards,
David

I had similar problems here in the UK as the above user, but it was solved for me by selecting the third outgoing host in the "number to send from" list.
Changing to the Canada host enabled me to receive SMS reminders here in the UK.
Cheers,
Brendan

Hello, I live in Berlin and have the same problems as the above user and even tried what David Trey from the staff suggested - still no text message nor test message. What should I do?

Hello,
If you're adding your phone number in the correct format, for example: +49123456789 that is - with the plus sign at the front, followed by the country.area code, no spaces or dashes and you can't receive the test message through none of the three outgoing hosts from the "Number to send from" drop-down menu, then please send your full phone number to david@todoist.com and we will contact our SMS provider about this issue.
Best regards,
David

I'm in the UK. First host (US) doesn't work. Thanks for instructions in this thread as third host (Canada) does work.
