SMS Notifications not working

[Nicole158]

I have been using the Airbnb app for iphone since May and I have always recieved an SMS notification when there is a booking request or a message through the Airbnb website. However, this has not been working for the last few days. I attempted to turn off the notifications then turn them back on in the settings, but when I do this, it says that i can not turn it back on because my number is not verified... so then i try to verify the number and the code i am given dosent work.

If I use the official website through my laptop, I am able to verify the phone number and change the notification settings, but it seems to have no effect on recieving text (SMS) notifications on my phone.

I called Airbnb to try to fix this problem, and the lady I spoke with was able to send me a message, but no others have come through since.

Has anyone else had this problem and fixed it?

Try to contact your network provider the problem can be from their side too.

But I dont have problems receiving messages from other people.  Only Airbnb notifications.  I did not have problems to verify my phone number.  What should I tell my provider?

I'm having the same problem. And I don't know how to contact Airbnb because I'm from the Philippines. Do they have an email address? I don't know how this can be solved either 😞

Yep, communicating with Airbnb is another problem that needs to be improved..

I'm having the same problem with SMS instant booking notifications in the last two weeks. I get messages but not bookings by SMS. This is alarming as guests showed up at my door ready for check without my knowledge as they booked the night before and I did not receive an SMS notification like I have always done in the past. I since have had two more booking without SMS notification. It is not my mobile provider as I am receiving requests/message notification but not instacnt booking notifications, which is worrying and leaving me open to have people arriving again when I am not prepared or expecting them. I am tempted to turn off my instant bookings. 

Any suggestions, SMS is turned on on my profile settings.

The problem went away by itself now it's happening again!

Hello,

For me too, I don't receive sms notifications anymore. Now I just see a reservation request almost ending because I was on week-end. I received them for 2 years before, and checked all the item, they are still to be notified :S

I think I'll contact Airbnb...

Best to all !

cheers

I am having the same problem.  Is this is the same for Anroid and iOS systems?  I ask because I know that there was a recent problem with iOS update 11.2 that kept causing my phone to crash because of notifications.

Has anybody heard back from Airbnb?  In general I relly wish there was a better way to contact them...
