Not able to receive any verification texts or push notifications
I’m not receiving any verification texts or push notifications. This started immediately after updating to the latest iOS version. I can’t get verification codes from my bank or from other websites.
iPhone 17, iOS 26
can you get texts from Android users?
do you have a VPN?
I would do this...all 8 steps in sequence
1. Settings, Apps, Messages,
2. turn off iMessage
3. Settings, Apps, Facetime,
4. Turn off Facetime,
5. Power down the phone
6. Turn on the phone again
7. Settings, Apps, Messages, turn on iMessage, (wait a moment til it activates)
8. Settings, Apps, Facetime, turn on Facetime
At the end ensure that your number and email appear in your send/receive addresses in those settings

When was the last time you received a verification code from your bank? What type of “other websites?” Are they also financial websites?
Thank you for your input. I can receive regular text messages, although I’m not sure whether they’re coming from Android users, and I’m not using a VPN. The problem is that I’m not receiving text messages from my bank with verification codes to access my account, nor am I receiving verification codes from some of the portals I use to confirm my identity.
I appreciate your assistance, but unfortunately, I tried your suggestions, and none of them worked. I’ve already contacted my carrier, and they didn’t find anything wrong on their end.
