App Security Code Texts Not Coming Through

I just moved from AT&T to Xfinity Mobile (iPhone) - since I activated late last week, I noticed that some sites/apps that require you to enter a text code - those texts are no longer coming through. And I'm having to use a different method (email or phone).

All personal texts work great, it just seems like something is blocking these certain "numbers" from texting me. Has anyone else ever run into this?

SeattleBeardMatt Thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums. I definitely understand how frustrating it would be to have to use email to authenticate. I love being able to just grab the code quickly via text instead of waiting on an email. Have you already checked that you don't have any spam settings enabled that may be causing you to not receive those authentication texts? Are you not receiving any of the codes, or just from specific sites/apps?
 

 

Good morning Billie. Ironically, Xfinity is now one of the senders that I can't receive! The other is for Charles Schwab (weird mix, I know). I do receive them from others, so it's interesting that it's just these two.

SeattleBeardMatt Thank you for confirming that you are receiving some of the texts. It's definitely odd that you are not receiving the onces from us! I'd like to get a look at the account and see what's going on and how we can get this resolved. Please send us a DM to Xfinity Support with your full name and address to get started.
