Double check you entered the correct info to receive the codes, if it is then contact your phone carrier, SMS is their feature.

Probably something wrong with the way said companies send the messages.


If other messages get through, it would stand to reason that the iPhone is working correctly. As such if the messages are not getting to the iPhone, then. something may be wrong between the carrier and the other companies.


Since messages from your contacts arrive correctly, that means the carrier is working fine, and as such the issue would be solely with the companies sending the 2 factor codes.


All this assuming the codes are sent over SMS messages.
