Troubleshooting Tips
Q. Why are text commands not working?
A. If you have an auto signature added to all of your texts, our system will receive those characters and will try to make sense of them. Since the signature doesn't match a command, all of your texts to us will be interpreted wrong. Please shut off automated signatures when texting commands within our text banking product.
Q. My mobile device shows I have a strong signal, yet I cannot connect to the mobile web site on my device. What causes this to occur?
A. The signal display on the mobile device is an indication of the phone's ability to place calls. The mobile banking website requires a data network to perform data exchanges. The problem you described could be due to lack of signal or due to no data connection on the mobile device. Please contact your wireless service provider for assistance.
Q. What happens if I lose communication/signal during a transaction?
A. If you do not receive a confirmation message due to a lost signal, you may verify a transaction by reviewing your transaction in mobile banking. You may also contact us for assistance at 800.222.2299 weekdays 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturday 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. and Sunday 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Q. What if I lose my mobile phone?
A. There will be no financial information from Rockland Trust saved on your mobile phone as part of our mobile banking service. Do not add your login credentials to the memo pad or voice record them on your mobile device, as this information could then be obtained by others. Password protect your mobile device if possible.
