Service access denied texting error

Hey everyone -

So Google is trying to verify my account, but when they send me a text, I see an auto response with "Service access denied". The text is from the number 244444. I don't have content blocking as far as I can tell.

Anyone know what might be causing this?

Thanks!

Josh

  • You could have a short code block on your voice line.  Sadly, this is not something that you can adjust yourself, you will have to reach out to care to have them check.  You will also want to check your device to make sure you have premium messaging enabled.  On my phone, it's under Settings>Apps and Notifications>Special Access>Premium SMS Access.  This will show a listing of apps that have requested Premium SMS Access- Tap on the app and choose Always Allow.
