I had sent my application on 4th and didn't receive any SMS. I called up on the number, for HMPO, mentioned on the receipt which I got from post office. They said that they received my application on 5th but at busy times they don't send SMS. Sounded bit weird to me, but I was assured that my application with my current passport hasn't lost in transit.sanso wrote:Method of Application: PO Check & Send (London)

I see that many people receive their SMS confirmation within 3 days or 5 days. It has been a week for me and didn't receive anything yet.. Is there anyone else with the same situation.. It's so worrying since I have to travel next month for my job.
Just give them a call to calm your nerves.
All the best!!
