I'm not able to receive SMS security codes through iMessages on iPhone 11

I'm not able to receive SMS security codes through iMessages on iPhone 11 even though I updated my software to the latest version (Version 14.7.1). It's so frustrating to keep restarting my device each time I don't get a code. Sometimes, even that doesn't work. What will fix this? Please let me know!

iPhone 11, iOS 14

SMS and imessage are 2 different things. The codes are being sent via SMS, which is a service provided by your phone carrier, contact them to troubleshoot.
