I was asked to verify my identity via a texted code, but the texts won't stop. I texted STOP and received the message that I would no longer receive text messages from Apple, but they're still coming. Help! Has anyone else had this experience? What did you do?
iPhone 6 Plus, iOS 8.3, 64GB
You must have 2 factor authentication enabled. You will get a text every time you access an Apple service from a different device. You should not be receiving them using a device that has been previously authenticated.
I think I was incomplete in my description of the texts I was receiving. I had my iPhone 6 plus replaced and had to go through verifying my identity. I selected to use text at my cell number as my verification method. Apple sent me the verification code number 3100 and I entered it. Everything was fine. Then I received another text with the same number 3100. Then I received another text, and another text, and anoth, and another and 7 more for a grand total of 11 including the original text. I texted "STOP" after the 9th text and received the message "Apple ID Verification: You have been unsubscribed and will no longer receive messages 1800MYAPPLE" After that I received the last 2 "Your Apple ID Verification Code is: 3100 texts.
Go to http://appleid.apple.com, and click on Manage Apple ID. Complete the verification (you may get another text), then go to Password and Security. Click on Manage trusted devices, and remove the number.
TThank you!
You're welcome.
How do I get Apple to stop texting me?
