I'm not receiving the verification code by SMS

I'm trying to log in to my Apple ID account on the web page, but when I select to send me an SMS with the verification code, I never get it. I tried to send an SMS to my number from another device, and I received it just fine.

Are you in your Home Country? I don't know if Apple will send codes as SMS to another country. I suspect they can if you have a WiFi connection instead and then it goes as a notification.


Based on: Get a verification code and sign in with two-factor authentication - Apple Support


A code is sent first to your trusted devices automatically. If you have a trusted device running iOS 9 and later, OS X El Capitan and later, iPadOS 13 and later, or watchOS 6 and later, the verification code is displayed automatically on your trusted devices.
