Unable to log into my acc

Network error but it is NOT- unable to connect to discovery server. it's a Discovery error Since last week I am unable to login to my discovery banking app. It continuously says "you might be experiencing a network error". NO network error on my side. I logged into my app last night and all was fine. I tried my other banking app and all is fine. I used 3 different Wi-Fi's. I deleted the app and now unable to proceed as they send an notification to my app. IT DOES NOT WORK!!!!! The most shockingly disgusting thing is that when I call customer service I am unable to speak to a consultant as I am sent an in-app authentication notification that I CANNOT authorize as I CANNOT log into my account. This is the second time this year I have experienced this issue. to make matter worse im outside the country

This is a discovery issue. I need to access my account immediately.

Hi Gift,

Please ensure that you are either connected to mobile data or Wi-Fi but never both.; and turn off the other when logging into the bank app. This should resolve the issue.

Please note that this is a network/connectivity issue. It could mean that the network you are connecting from is not compatible with the Discovery Bank network.

So how do I know which network is compatible with Discovery. I tried all my banks and it's working only Discovery is having issues. For more than a week I can't log into my discovery bank app

After more than a week trying to log into my bank app now it's saying your phone has been paused call Discovery on the number ends with 4444
I called the number and not answered. It's either the call just cut off after minutes of waiting to talk to advisor or I wait for many minutes no answer. I'm outside the country and I need to access my account

I try to log into my discovery bank app and showing this device has been paused please call Discovery. I tried since yesterday and not answered. I can't do anything, calling all Discovery Bank numbers not answered or they send authentic messages to the same phone they blocke.
This is so bad

The non existent quality of Discovery Bank customer service is quite appalling!!

I have had to uninstall an reinstall the banking app on my phone, but now my app has been paused and I am told to phone the number ending with 4444 in order to unlock it. I have been on hold, listening to their awful music for over 15 minutes on 5 separate occasions yesterday and today all day. They blocked my phone and still expect me to authorize on same blocked phone. This is pathetic service. I'm outside the country and I can't use my banking app.

Please can you unpause my device.
If I log in it says
This device has been paused. Please call us on *** to activate your device.
When I call they send me authentication note to the same device which I can not approve. Please remove the blockage on my device
