Short code 6-digit SMS text suddenly stopped arriving on iphone XR
About 3 months ago, I suddenly stopped receiving those SMS short code texts that I get from my bank, credit cards, restaurants, two-factor verifications, etc. I get them if a 10-digit number or some 5-digit code is sending the texts, but not the others. This is causing lots of issues for me. About 6 weeks ago I spent a couple of hours on the phone with ATT and gave up. I reset my phone, but it was sill a problem. I have read that others have a similar problem, and I try their suggestions, but nothing seems to work. I am trying one last time before I change my carrier.
