iPhone 16 Max Pro not receiving short code SMS

iPhone 16 Max Pro using updated 18ios as of 01.10.2025 not receiving verification message texts from third party vendors


I am traveling through major airports and depend on my messenger app to receive text messages for verifications, and these verifications are not coming through from multiple third-party retailers. This makes it very difficult to travel and to purchase things on the fly as I travel. Please help fix this so that I can receive text messages from priceline.com and from my bank and from my credit card and from my rental car and from my airlines.

Please contact your phone carrier and let them know your SMS isn't working since you pay them a monthly fee to use their service.
