just bought an honor 10 from here. phones great, just one issue…..
tried setting up google pay on it so i can swipe it at supermarkets etc, all went fine, had to wait for the code that they send by text, it never came, tried again, said 2 or 3 codes had been sent but i never received them. looked a bit deeper into it and it says a text had been sent to ***** ***815 (they put the asterisks in, not me). my number doesnt end in 815, so i had to bail on setting it up.
yesterday i thought id better set my banking app up on it, generate security codes etc etc, had to input a code sent by text and youve guessed it, same issue, we’ve sent a code to your number ending in 815.
ive contacted the original owner who’s also flummoxed, he did a factory reset, plus the number he used on it didnt end that way either.
i can only think that somehow, this number is maybe tied to my google account then, but i had banking/google pay set up fine using this account on my last phone, plus, i cant see any number tied to my google account anyway.
the phone is dual sim, with no sim in the other slot.
any ideas oh great stw minds?
thanks
