Not receiving security codes for two-factor authentication

I am not getting security codes via messages. Cannot log in or access email etc with 2 factor verification. Is this an sms message problem?

thank you I did call the phone cell company. They had to have me reset the network and then we went thru several

settings to make sure that they were correct. One thing that was wrong was silent box was checked. I never checked that. I did filter calls to send the unknown to my voicemail where they could leave a message. But apparently that stopped all unknowns from even getting thru. Apple and other platforms really need to figure out a way to cut out the spam. It has gotten out of control. If anyone knows of another way to stop them from coming in, please let us all know. Thanks
