Does iMessage work with ALDI Mobile? My iMessage is not working, can you help?

iMessage does work with ALDI Mobile but it does not always set itself up properly. If it isn’t working you will need to set it up yourself.

You will need to do the following:

  1. Disable iMessage under Settings/Messages
  2. Dial *#5005*7672# and make a note of what the SMSC is set to at the moment
  3. Dial **5005*7672*+61418706700# to set Telstra’s SMSC
  4. Dial *#5005*7672# to make sure it changed
  5. Enable iMessage under Settings/Messages
  6. Dial **5005*7672*+61418706275# (or you won’t be able to send)
  7. You may need to turn your phone off and back on again

You will be charged for changing these settings as you will be activating iMessage and an international text charge of 25c will apply.

In most instances, the settings above will fix any issues. However if you are still having problems, you should try again using the ALDI Mobile SMSC which is +61418706275. You will need to do the following:

  1. Disable iMessage under Settings/Messages
  2. Dial *#5005*7672# and make a note of what the SMSC is set to at the moment
  3. Dial **5005*7672*+61418706275# to set ALDI Mobile's SMSC
  4. Dial *#5005*7672# to make sure it changed
  5. Enable iMessage under Settings/Messages
  6. Dial **5005*7672*+61418706275# (or you won’t be able to send)
  7. You may need to turn your phone off and back on again
