(Note: Don't get me started on SMS-2FA; I am using Authy for the "real" 2FA for the site; this is an optional "recovery" process, because belt-and-braces is sometime wise).

 

Trying to turn on a "recovery" code via SMS for an account, to a work phone that is on Voda.

 

SMS codes not being received.

 

It's an overseas website.

 

I doubt that Covid-19 transport delays are hitting SMS (yet!), so probably not that.

 

Is it worth trying to follow up with Voda?  Can I even do that if it's a work-provided phone/sim on a large corporate plan?

... and thanks very much to @Delphinus testing, we can confirm that indeed VF are blocking the texts if they are not specifically white-listed.

 

Back to the original website (LastPass) to report that; but I doubt their support helpdesk will care enough to actually do anything about it (based in previous attempts to engage them).
