I have an iPhone 13 with 15.5 software, but verification texts will not come in at all! I have tried every suggestion Apple support has made and none work. I need a solution fast. Will someone from apple please address this issue?

If you have an iPhone and another iOS or iPadOS device, like an iPad, your iMessage settings might be set to receive and start messages from your Apple ID instead of your phone number. To check if your phone number is set to send and receive messages, go to Settings > Messages, and tap Send & Receive.
