  • Using an iPhone 14 Pro
  • iPhone is toggled to Airplane Mode
  • Connected to the ACWIFI Network
Has anybody else been able to get things like text codes and SMS messages in the same fashion as-of-late?
That's weird. Banks don't use iMessage (that I know of). The only way this would work is if (a) you were not in airplane mode, but you already said that you were) OR (b) somehow Bell/ACWIFI was letting through SMS over VoLTE. Out of curiosity, who is your carrier?
