Generally, those verification codes are sent using Short Code Text Messaging. These short code text messages are received from a 5 or 6 digit phone number. This capability/feature is provided and managed by your carrier. I recommend that you contact your carrier and tell them about not receiving verification codes which may be sent over short code messaging service. Their support team should be able to address this for you and find a resolution.

It's an easy fix. Call your carrier and get them to take off the spam blocker. Spam blocker is a great tool but it blocks the 4or 5 digit phone numbers that verification process uses to text customers.
Hello if anyone is having this issue with not receiving verification codes..I contact my carrier (AT&T) it was quit simple..turn on air plane mode for a few seconds then turn it back off***make sure to turn it back off*** Then I tried to receive a verification code again..and voilà it worked for me! Hope it works for you too!

Repost: I called the carrier AT&T twice and both times they didn't think it was on their end. Magically after my 2nd call it was fixed and the messages sent by short code came in. Not sure what they did. If you call your carrier, don't mention anything about issues with Android texts, they will assume it's an "Apple" thing. Just tell them you aren't getting text verifications.
That's the exact date mine started. I called the carrier AT&T twice and both times they didn't think it was on their end.

Restart your iPhone - Restarting your iPhone can often fix glitches that may be preventing you from receiving verification code SMS. Press and hold the Power button until the "slide to power off" option appears, then swipe to shut down your iPhone. Once your iPhone has shut down, press and hold the Power button again until the Apple logo appears.
I can confirm this is purely a phone service provider issue. Took the support lady a single click and a reboot of my phone, and the service now works! I have to assume AT&T performed some update on their side and did not notify customers to call support.
U have to go to your carrier (AT&t in my case). Ask the tech rep in the store to call att support (+243). That 243,tech will clear your acct to receive all texts.
i did this today.
Call your carrier - additional info can be found in this thread.
Hello jyamee1!
Please go to: Settings > Your Name > Name, Phone Numbers, Email. Now, under “CONTACTABLE AT,” do you see your phone number?
To double-check your device’s phone number, please go to: Settings > Your Name. Now, just above the red “Sign Out,” tap on iPhone. Now, under “DEVICE INFO,” check your phone number, and make sure it is entered in the place I described above. 👆
I hope this is helpful. Good Luck!

Contact your carrier and discuss your SMS “non-delivery” issues.
I'm having this same problem. I find that if I turn of my iPhone and then turn it back on, the verification text message comes through. But this is cumbersome and time consuming and never used to be required.
Call your wireless carrier. They should know how to fix.
