There are various possible reasons why verification code messages are not appearing ... yet we don't have much info. to go on, to help troubleshoot.
Eg:
Which phone model are you using: ie: iPhone 15 / android phone / etc
Which operating system version (iOS 18/ iOS 26 etc.) is installed,
and, (so we know it has all the latest bug-fixes, security updates etc.),
... is the phone up-to-date with the newest compatible version.
You can check for available updates in Settings > General > Software updates.
Are we discussing verification codes from Apple ?
(If so, you may be able to get a verification code directly from settings on your phone:
See: How to: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support
or
Are the missing verification codes being sent from companies, and banks, etc: ... ie: you may need to log-in and check which phone number you currently have listed in your account details.
or
Your settings (or restrictions set) may allow for only receiving messages from those already listed in your contacts.
