I thought that Kogan didn't support sending or replying to 4 digit short codes e.g. appointment confirmations, or RNZ. Looking back, I see that appointment reminders from one place come through on a different short code every time..

However, I tried again recently and was able to send them.

Successful numbers:

2101 : Radio NZ SMS

Let us know in the replies about numbers that work or don't work for you...

Here are a couple of other posts that touch on this topic:

Nice! Just tried the following:

Tried 8520 - Domino's, but yet to receive confirmation I successfully unsubscribed (which I have with the other two)

Interwesting... 3230 for Luminos works as well.

I do remember that there is a list of "premium" shortcodes floating around, wonder if any on that list feature here

I think this is the list you are looking for:

Can confirm that Kogan Mobile supports texting short codes now. I was able to send a spam report to DIA for once - whoo!

The pdf available at the 2degrees website has detail about the company providing the short code service. Obviously the charges for the text may change depending on the whether it's Spark/2degrees etc

But why is this now working? Is Kogan wearing the cost , is there a bug somewhere? I've just gone through some of the shortcodes that have worked and the Spark document still says there is a charge to send. PS some of the codes mentioned have a 0 cost to send according to the Spark document (dated 29 April 2024)
