How do I complete a transaction?
It depends on what country you are in, but generally one of two ways. When you see the boxPAY widget and you want to pay for something, click on it and you will be prompted to compete the transaction in one of two ways:
Option 1 - Enter your mobile phone number and get a text message with a pin code confirming your transaction, which you then enter back into the widget to access your purchase.
Option 2 - Text a word or phrase to the short code provided, and get a text message with a pin code confirming your transaction, which you then enter back into the widget to access your purchase. -

I tried to pay entering my phone number, but never received my confirmation message...

You may also have SMS baring in place. Please check your phone settings and contact your carrier service provider for more information.
