    Hi freddyg5316,

     

    Sorry to hear you are having issues with this. If you are having troubles receiving the verification code via SMS when setting up iCloud Keychain, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful, in particular this portion:

     

    If you didn't receive the verification code via SMS

    1. Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
    2. Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
    3. Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
      • On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number. 
      • On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

     

    If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.
