Hello estela26,



Thanks for choosing the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you are trying to get a verification code to sign in to iCloud on a new iPhone, but you are not getting a code. In this instance, we would want to follow the steps below to resolve the issue.


Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support



"Get a code from Settings on your trusted device

If you can’t receive a verification code on your trusted devices automatically, you can get one from Settings, even if your device is offline.

From your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If your device is online:

  1. Go to Settings > [your name].
  2. Tap Password & Security > Get Verification Code.

If your device is offline:

  1. Go to Settings > [your name].
  2. Tap Password & Security. 
  3. A message says "Account Details Unavailable." Tap Get Verification Code.


If you still can't sign in

If you can’t sign in, reset your password, or receive verification codes, you can request account recovery to regain access to your account. Account recovery might take a few days or longer, depending on the specific account information you can provide to verify your identity."



If something else is happening when you try to log in, please tell us a bit more and we will do everything we can to help.


Cheers!
