Two Factor Authentication stopped sending me Text messages

As the subject says my Two Factor Authentication linked to my cell phone has stopped sending me my codes that I need to access my e-mail. I have to keep sending them to my backup e-mail instead. Yes, my proper cell phone number is setup on my account.

Did you find a solution?  I'm having the same issue and have been on with support for the last hour. Have reset the phone multiple times (the first time I was asked to reset by an Xfinity rep and the phone disconnected and he never called me back; after having waited about 40 minutes to get to a person and away from the bot who keeps asking the same questions and won't connect you with a human).  

I tried resetting again (they called me back this time), and still no luck.  Bank, website, investment apps are all inaccessible. BUT I did receive an authentication code from Xfinity when I tried logging in to my account online.  So it's definitely an Xfinity issue.  If they can't work this out tonight I'm heading to AT&T tomorrow.

You can tell that the "person" responding to the inquiries is also a bot.

Hi, user_7fda54. We appreciate you coming here to the community for support. Sorry to hear you're running into similar trouble! Just to confirm, you're have difficulties with two factor authentication with other companies, but the code you ended up receiving from us did end up working- is that correct? If not, please elaborate!

I am experiencing the same thing. All two factor authentications are no longer being received. I have recently converted to Xfinity Mobile a couple days ago, which I continued to receive SMS messages on two factor authentications for a single day, but as of today, I no longer receive them. This has prevented me from performing my work all day, which I will need to make up time for. Please provide some indication to why I would suddenly stop receiving SMS messages/texts per two factor authentication. Thank you.
