"CONFIRM YOUR IDENTITY" code sent to a phone that won't receive text

[photon440]

Not only can I not complete my Public Mobile transfer to a new phone, I can't even complete my log-in to my account on the computer as it keeps sending a six digit code to a phone that won't see it.

@photon440   If this is a new activation then you need to use the app as suggested.  But from the wording, could you be transferring an existing PM account to a new phone?   I'm guessing not since that's just a question of switching sim cards or getting a new esim on the new phone.   You may be able to get the six digit code by email if you keep tapping/clicking on didn't get the code or resend code.
