We'd like to look into why you're unable to receive the two factor authentication code @TPlimmer. 

We have a troubleshooting tip for you to try.

Use the following steps to check that the feature is enabled:

• Go to Settings> Applications manager and select all
• Scroll down and select Messaging
• Scroll down and select Permissions
• Locate a tab titled PremiumSMS service, then select it and enable either Allow or Ask.

Please follow these steps and let us know if you can receive the two factor authentication code. 

Thank you for reaching out AT&T Community Forums.

When I go into the Messaging app in my phone under Permissions there is no tab called PremiumSMS Service?

Hi @TPlimmer! Let's look into your two factor authentication codes!

We recommend power cycling your device and checking out our helpful Forum post which addresses Two-Factor Authentication codes and why you may not be receiving the verification codes. 

We hope this helps! Thank you for reaching out to the community!

Rhoda, AT&T Community Specialist

I have powered of/on, checked all my settings and replaced the sim card. None of that has made a difference. I haven't received a message back from Joyne who posted to me to turn on premium SMS, which I can't find on my phone?

Hey there, @TPlimmer!

Try accessing Premium SMS by following these steps:

1. From your Home screen navigate to Settings and select Apps & notifications.
2. Tap Special access.
3. Tap Premium SMS access.
4. From the Premium SMS access screen, tap the app then select an option:
   1. Ask
   2. Never Allow
   3. Always Allow

Also, use our Device Support tool to make sure no numbers are blocked or restricted on your device. After selecting your device's make and model, choose Email and messaging followed by Block messages and follow the steps to unblock any numbers that may be restricted.

Give this a try and let us know how it works!

Hello Lar, I did as you outlined. However, when I get to the Premium Access screen it states there no Apps allowed premium access and it doesn't offer any options?

Hello @TPlimmer,

Thank you for giving that a try.

Do you currently have any phone numbers blocked on your cell phone?

Also, do you have the AT&T Call Protect app, or similar apps that prevent unwanted phone calls/text messages downloaded on your device?

Please let us know.

We'll be patiently awaiting your response.

Not getting certain verification codes including EMERGENCY notifications.

Same here! This used to work but hasn't for months, even from AT&T. I spent over an hour on the phone with tech support and was escalated to the next level. My ARD case is CM20210902_150760441; NO FOLLOW UP and STILL BROKEN! Today I'm shopping for a new carrier, this is unacceptable.

Same problem with Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Unable to resolve after several calls to the customer service and several visits to AT&T stores.
