T mobile apple tv trial fails to send 4 digit code to the T mobile phone to activate apple tv.

When trying to setup apple tv for T mobiles 6 month free trial, using the T mobile T-life app ( the web site app never connects to the apple tv page that was used before this app) the system seems to do everything up until the last step. The last tep seems to be the T mobile phone that is linked to the free trial is supposed to have a 4 digit code sent to it, to complete the final activation which is used to confirm the subscription. No matter how many times I have tried to activate the phone it never receives the 4 digit code. I am the primary account and the phone is my number. Trying it more than twice results in the system saying too may attempts and try later.
