Recently switched over and went to log into my google account and had to set up 2 factor authentication, said it sent a verification code over and it didn’t send. I tried multiple times and it didn’t send anything, also tried with whatsapp and tesco bank. I’ve seen other people have issues with it on here and wanted to know if it was the case of it just being enabled on your end. Really need to for them to get through otherwise i cant set anything up.
P.s I can send and receive texts and calls normally to my contacts, just not receiving any short codes.
Solved
not receiving short code sms

+26If you’re using an Android device, try turning OFF “Chat features” in the Messages app.
If you’re using an iPhone, try turning OFF iMessage and FaceTime.

Thank you very much! It has seemed to fix it , even if it's not a great permanent solution.

If your old phone was Android and had “Chat features” turned ON (in the Messages app), then the Google servers that handle “Chat features” can get out-of-sync when you change devices and move mobile numbers around.
This can cause problems with text messaging.
