I am not receiving short-code SMS like verification texts from Uber, Google, etc.

Like the title states I am not receiving short-code SMS texts such as verification texts from multiple services like Google and Uber. I have an iPhone 7. I have repeatedly checked and I am giving them my correct phone number, but I am not getting their texts. I am not having issues with sending or receiving other texts, and I have thoroughly checked my phone settings. I even reset my carrier settings recently, but still not getting short code SMS.

We can help you right here. What kind of phone do you have? When you say Facebook text, are you talking about the Messenger app? Are other services such as calling, regular text messaging, or data failing?

I tried to send screenshots but it got “rejected” by your moderate but I texted the short code that Facebook uses because I’m locked out of my account and they keep saying they sent a security code to my phone but nothing is coming and when I texted I got an email saying that texts were deactivated from my phone because my mobile service provider no longer recognizes my number as valid.. I have an iPhone 7plus

Baileighann, we understand how important it is for you to get logged back into you Facebook account. Are you a prepaid or post pay customer. Are you able to send and receive text from other people? Has your phone number changed recently?

I could use some help too. I’m prepaid and not receiving short code sms and really need it for my job.  I had called into tech-support and they said it’s turned off for all of pre-paid. I verified that is absolutely not true as I have friends on pre-paid and it works just fine. So my iPhone 8+ is not receiving short SMS text while others are.  I can send and receive regular text just fine. Please help Verizon!
