Not receiving sms confirmation codes

Hi there!
Im with public mobile for 2 years now, and it’s all been great except for this one thing recently. When I try to log into an account and it tries to send me a verification code through my phone number, it started to show up very late, and not only public mobile but all the 2FAs if they are SMS. 

All other messages are getting through instantly, only 2FAs are taking tooooooo long, even when im trying to log in to public mobile it gives you 5 mins to enter the code, I never can get in with SMS. I need to email it afterwords.

This is a new thing as before this was working perfectly, has anyone faced something similar if yes how to fix this?

Thanks !

hi @user1358 

Android or iPhone? if Android, try using Google Message as the default message app.  If you already using Google Message, backup important text, then uninstall, reboot phone and reinstall

or test your sim card on another phone to see if the delay is same

if same, then ask CS agent to refresh your account.  You can  submit a ticket with CS Agent using Chatbot here:
