Trusted phone number not working
I've added my phone number (on an android phone) as a trusted number. However, when I login to icloud, the verification code isn't being sent to the phone. Why is that?

The phone may not be a trusted device. From the article below.
Trusted devices
A trusted device is an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9 or later, or Mac with OS X El Capitan or later that you've already signed in to using two-factor authentication. It’s a device we know is yours and that can be used to verify your identity by displaying a verification code from Apple when you sign in on a different device or browser.

Hmmm, well, the phone is an Android, so it doesn't meet any of the criteria above. But I did see somewhere that the trusted number should work with any device, not just Apple. And there is a field in my icloud security settings for a trusted phone number.
