Do you have a limited data plan on your cell phone?


Depending on the site in question, confirmation codes may be sent as either SMS or data.


From your description it sounds like your carrier isn't passing the code along because you've reached the SMS or Data limits of your cell plan.


The path forward is likely to talk to your cell provider about options for increasing the limit
