I had a phone which I changed for a new one with the samephone number. Ever since I have changed my phone I have not been able to receive the security text and have to answer the security questions to get into my account.
Why can't I get the texts now?
Do I need to do something to get the texts on my new phone?

So a month later and still no working Security key texts, and no information provided.
Absolutely appalling.

And here we are, 2 months on and still no comment? I've designed, implemented and rolled out SMS integration nationwide in less time than this.

Yes , I know this is a very old thread but I would like to update this. I have a new LG V30 and I am not receiving security or verification text. I have talked to a customer service person and the only thing they can do is disable the security verification/2FA. I tried to re-register my number and it still did not work.
