Any idea why I'm only receiving text messages from some senders?

I recently (yesterday) ported my Mint Mobile number into XFinity Mobile and a new iPhone. 

When I try to log into xfinity.com, the "verify your mobile number" doesn't send me a one-time code; it just sits there and I don't get a text message.  Verifying with email or a push notification works fine.

I can send myself a text message, and bulksms.com can send me a test text message.  On the other hand, sandbox.httpsms.com (another SMS tester) fails to send a message and comes back with "Free Msg: Unable to send message - Message Blocking is active".  

I don't have any blocked senders in the phone's messaging app.

Update:

While setting up apps on the new phone today, 2FA from everywhere but Xfinity are working.  So it looks like the only places I'm not getting messages from are the Xfinity 2FA text and sandbox.httpsms.com.  Weird, but at least most everything else seems to be okay.

Unrelated: It took me probably a dozen attempts to set up WiFi calling.  It appears that the last time I finally managed to get all of the E911 info in and saved before the "You must call Xfinity Mobile to enable WiFi calling" pop-up arrived.
