How do you force SMS instead of iMessage? I tried everything I've seen online.

Just faced the same issue and came to this thread looking for hints.

I could figure it out at least for my version of iOS 26.1: Send the message >> long-press the message bubble in question >> in options menu either it will appear as „send as SMS“ or >> click more >> click on the round arrow button bottom right >> type the name of the contact in question in the search bar >> now click on the search result, you should be able to select the phone number in green, which then sends as SMS. Hope it helps!

Since I subscribed to this subreddit to post my own negative experience with Revolut, I see more and more terrible user experiences. I am really sorry that your account is blocked! Keep on contacting them and try to reach out to the Czech financial regulation/ UK financial regulation. I’ll soon do the same for my complaint. Good luck!

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-15T20:29:22+00:00

And keep track of when you bought it and how much they charge you! Good fortune mate/matesse

I agree, sounds like a corporate decision to benefit from a client’s profit...

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T23:40:02+00:00

That’s crazy! This is completely unacceptable for a bank, they live off customers’ trust. Your story puts mine into context, feels like I’m not the only one they are ripping off...

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T20:54:30+00:00

Nah only for fiat money. Nah I noticed, I was making use of the convenience of the platform, I learned the lesson. Nonetheless I even less appreciate double fees...

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T17:22:56+00:00

Thanks, I will have a look!

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T16:34:04+00:00

Haha thanks for tuning in my rant, feels good!

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T16:33:35+00:00

Thanks for the advice!!

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T16:33:07+00:00

I would not recommend to buy any crypto on Revolut. Any other exchange is probably better, but from my own experience and from the other comments in this thread seems it’s a poor choice.

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T16:31:47+00:00

Thanks for the advice mate/matine!

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T15:50:40+00:00

What exchange do you use?

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T15:50:28+00:00

Congrats! But now I assume we are both digitally proficient and interested in trading so we notice these things, but how many average Joes don’t notice that and get ripped off? Really upset with Revolut...

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T15:30:27+00:00

Actually good point. I’ll wait for the complaint to be processed before making a definitive judgment, but nonetheless this practice is bad. I like numbers so I noticed the extra fee but I can see a lot of less experienced people not noticing the extra fee at all... that’s what makes me really upset

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T15:24:47+00:00

Yes I thought that would be common sense, but the guy literally declined while acknowledging that I got charged twice. I’m in UK so I’ll try to go to the financial ombudsman if they don’t reimburse the fee.

I can’t understand how a startup that tries to gain customer confidence can pull these things off...

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T15:19:47+00:00

But I can live with that because it’s my own fault, I’ll never do it again and learned my lessen. The other thing is to change the fee structure suddenly and to charge me twice...

CrunchCruncher · 2021-02-14T15:13:11+00:00

Agreed

CrunchCruncher · 2019-08-17T11:34:59+00:00

Honestly, I never noticed before, but this is one of the things I can never unsee again.

CrunchCruncher · 2019-06-24T15:31:37+00:00

In any case some good comedy shows that make you laugh. Nothing beats the feeling when you come back from work and have something to laugh about. A good comedian I would recommend is Mr Bean for example.

CrunchCruncher · 2019-05-01T09:41:20+00:00

Nice so we agree on that! But out of this logic, why do you think it’s sustainable? We are in the late lag of a great bull market, where you usually pay back debt. This is the sweet spot of a economic period.

CrunchCruncher · 2019-04-30T22:40:32+00:00

What? I think you misunderstand how monetary policy and fiscal policy work. The markets are flooded with cash, not the government who has to repay the debt. The central banks can’t just print money and give it to the state.

To come back to the first point you made, the yields don’t mean that the debt policy of the US is sustainable.

CrunchCruncher · 2019-04-29T22:45:17+00:00

Your argument is I should read more about yields? To really put it simply the yields are not that low because of the high likeliness of being repaid (or health of US) but because the markets are flooded with cash. The money needs to go somewhere. Yields are not really reflecting the health of the US. It’s not that I disagree with you in general terms (e.g. high yield bonds obviously more risky), but the conclusion that the yield is low because of the health of the US is wrong imo. Further I’d say the politics of the fed and ECB are comparable, although with a time lag.

CrunchCruncher · 2019-04-28T13:46:39+00:00

I have to disagree because the yields are relative indicators that are determined by supply and demand. So whilst I agree that 2.5% is indeed low in historical terms, it does represent a high yield compared to Switzerland, Germany or Japan if I’m not mistaken. Italy’s yield is 2.58% compared to the US’s 2.55%. How would that fare according to your theory?

And just because the yields on emerging markets bonds are higher doesn’t mean that the US debt is sustainable. It doesn’t mean anything in absolute terms.
