VT, you are not comprehending correctly. , all the other 2MFA numbers work fine, except this one. And as stated, I called the company sending the text, and that was their response, that they are seeing carriers blocking numbers which appear to the carrier as spam or suspicious, as the carrier posted the text as went through to end user, and I didn't get two. I am not the only one who is having this problem. your success sample size is 1, his sample size of failures is larger than 1. My sample size of success is 2 which I use all the time, and 1 which now no longer comes through.

So the number is a 5 digit number, not a 10 digit phone number, and the 5 digit number is in my contacts, I will wait and try again before contacting the carrier, verizon in this case.
