Unable to receive phone number verification code on iPhone 16

Under Settings > Apple Account > Sign-in and security


I try to add my phone number with the settings page on my iPhone.


I’m shown the page where I have to enter the verification code sent to my phone number, but the verification code never comes to this number.


I’ve tested two other numbers and they get the code without any issue.


Please help resolve this issue.

You don't need to manually add a phone number in the Settings on an iPhone. When you insert a physical SIM card or activate an eSIM, the phone number associated with that SIM or eSIM is automatically populated in the device. This phone number is displayed in Settings > Phone under the My Number section. However, you can manually edit this number if necessary, but it's usually auto-filled when the SIM or eSIM is activated.
