I've been noticing this problem over the last few months. I receive verification code/security code texts from some sites but most of them I don't. At first I thought it was a problem with one of two sites but it keeps happening. I do get them sometimes. Am I missing something in Settings or could it be on AT&T's end? For one site I was just trying, I was on my iMac first and then tried on my iPhone. I didn't receive anything.
 
I've yet to miss one. (I'm on T-Mobile) Sounds like a reception or sender problem since the verification or security code sent by sites are sent in the form of a text. The only thing I can think of is make sure you can receive SMS messages.
 
If I'm having problems getting codes, I can usually attribute it to the browser/site, so I'll try with a different browser.
 
I contacted AT&T. The person I talked to did something on his end then had me restart the phone. I went back to the site I was trying to get a code from earlier, it worked this time.
