I have been trying for some time now to setup 2FA on my Facebook account. Part of the process is to receive a SMS to confirm the codes.

On my Windows Phone nothing shows up and on my HTC One this is what appears:



Could anyone please confirm you can receive SMS from Facebook on Vodafone?

After lots of testing, involving Telecom and Run the Red, JohnR came up with a solution: Facebook uses its own routing, based on YOUR choice of operator, not porting tables. It seems I authenticated the number while at Telecom and Facebook would send the SMS with a specific message type. Once I moved to Vodafone that would be incorrect, hence the problem.

Removed the number, authenticated it again with Vodafone as operator and it works now.
