Wracking my brain, here - might two people, with separate accounts, using the same mobile phone, be an issue? It hasn't with other banks, but...?

You can't share a phone number on two account holders with Principality BS - one number works and the other fails.
And it doesn't tell you why, either. 

I suspect you may have found the cause. 

Damn! I'll have to give them a call, and see what can be done... 🙁

If it is the case, you may not need a 2nd phone; I use a low cost PAYG 2nd sim just for the Principality  (in a phone supporting dual sim) but maybe other opportunities to exploit the functionality.

Sorry if it's already been asked...

Do you have to pledge, up front, how much you're going to deposit, over and above the minimum, or is it an open window of time (7 days?) to add as much as you want?

There is a question to state this when applying but I have successfully added more than I stated.

Opened!!   I'll send a test payment first, and then a further balance.   I'm assuming as the rate is currently showing a 0%, its because it has to be at least £1000 before it starts earning interest.

They have some very odd security questions!!!!

Is it OK that their bank name isn't being recognised by Lloyds?   Should I put Shawbrook Bank Ltd as payee?

I've double checked the details.

I used my own name to deposit my funds with Shawbrook.

You won't see your test payment until Monday.

Tried that, still didn't like it.   It recognises the sort code as correct, so i've just gone ahead (with my name) with £1 and will check on Monday.

Don’t worry it does that for most people 

halifax said the same to me

nothing to worry about

if I recall, I also made a test payment of £1 and once that went through and showed up in the account (they usually send a confirmation text and email that an online document is  available on the account (a rather formal letter in pdf format  that also confirms the transaction) .Then you can top up  daily up to your nominated account's daily faster payments limit.

I agree! I hate weird questions like that as it forces me to have to write the answers down or I'll never remember them.
