I've been trying to enter a contest via text for the past week now, and the text will not go through for some reason. It says sending, but then I get a message 30 minutes or so later that says it failed. It's not the number, because it works fine on every other provider, but with Speakout it seems to just not be possible (others I know on Speakout can't either).

For reference, the contest is Nestle's "Max Out Your Summer", which requires you to text DRUMSTICK to 111222.

Any ideas why?

Speakout doesn't support short codes. You can only text to a full phone number.
