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?

Just signed up for text messages through Facebook and I have the 2 factor authentication set up already.

On Vodafone (have have been all along). Been using iPhones though, not sure that makes a difference.

I wonder why, oh why, someone is messing with the SMS coming to my number.

So it works fine on 2Degrees + Spark. You haven't tested this on Vodafone right?

I have the problem with two different handsets. It is either my number or Vodafone overall, trying to find out.

Why use SMS codes?  I've got my Facebook set up with Google Authenticator so no mucking about with text messages or network coverage.  Wouldn't that be better?

I have Google Authenticator setup but it's not enabled. To enable it you now have to confirm you have a mobile in case your Authenticator goes missing and you want to receive a backup code via SMS.

Without this you can't enable Authenticator.

Hmm, that seems stupid.  I think I prefer the Google approach where they just hand you a couple of static codes and tell you to keep them in your wallet.

Yes, and that's what others do as well. The whole SMS is a pain.

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.

So you essentially turned it off and back on again... Isn't that step one? :)
