Question

not receiving verification texts

Since porting my number to iD Mobile, I cannot receive any automated 2FA or verification texts. Regular SMS, RCS, and iMessage are working fine. I’m on an iPhone 17 running the latest iOS and have tried all standard device troubleshooting. The issue was escalated to your team but remains unresolved—could someone please check for a shortcode provisioning or SMS routing issue on my line?

    Hi ​@George Tasev

     

    Please make sure that the number is correct under settings.


    For iPhone:
    - Go to Settings > Phone > My Number.
    - Check that your correct iD Mobile number is displayed.
    - If it's incorrect, change it to the number you wish to keep. It may not update or save immediately.
    - If the number still doesn't change, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Enter your passcode if prompted and confirm the reset.


    Please note that resetting network settings will remove saved Wi-Fi networks and passwords and reset other network-related settings.


    If your number is showing incorrectly in your messaging settings:
    - Open the Messages app.
    - Tap More (⋮).
    - Select Settings.
    - Tap Advanced.
    - Select Phone Number, if available.
    - Enter the correct number associated with your SIM and save the changes.


    If the number is still incorrect:
    - Remove the SIM from your handset.
    - Restart the device.
    - Reinsert the SIM.
    - Check the number again in your phone settings.


    If possible, you can also test the SIM in another compatible handset. Send a test SMS and check whether it displays your correct number or a temporary number. This can help establish whether the issue is related to the SIM or your handset.
