Apple ID 2-step verification SMS in Canada

I'm trying to set up Apple ID 2-step verification in Canada.
Everything seems to work just fine, and I've added several trusted devices, and printed my recovery key, etc.
The problem is that the website suggests adding SMS-capable devices as trusted devices. So far I've tried three different devices, with 3 different carriers, and none has received the verification SMS message from Apple. I've waited more than 24 hours for it to arrive, and it doesn't.
No problem sending SMS messages to these three phones from the

i'm on telus and having same issue.
i knew this was an issue back in 2013 when this feature launched but since then Apple has officially listed Canada and most of it's carriers on it's supported list for two step sms verificiation so i thought the issue would have been solved.

Where do I enter Apple ID two-step verification SMS code?

I'm trying to setup two-step authentication but cannot get past Step 1, sending the SMS code to my phone. I get the code on my phone but where do I enter it? The screen where I pressed the button to send it to my number does not change after the code is sent. It still shows the popup window with Add Phone Number, and my number I sent to is still shown, with Cancel and Next. If I press next again it says the phone is already verified. If I press Cancel then the whole process is aborted.
Also I do not see a list of verified devices at the start of this process, I already have my phone and other devices enabled for find my iphone and they all show in iCloud. I am only using one Apple ID.

Thanks for the tip, but I'm already using current Safari. But perhaps I will try in Firefox.

Apple ID two step authentication - SMS option not available to receive verification code

Hi apple community,
First time poster, so be nice and let me know if this is the wrong forum
When signing on to my apple ID account, with two step authentication enabled, I am prompted to send a verification code to my device.
Now, my device was actually replaced under warranty so when attempting to send the verification code, I do not receive anything.
I have checked Find My Phone is enabled and working.
As I understand it now, the verification code is sent as a device message so if you replace your device, you have to re-register your new trusted device for apple ID two step authentication.
When signing in, I do not have the option to send a text message (i.e. an SMS) to my mobile number.
Has anyone experience this and resolved it? (and yes, Apple Support have tried to help me with no success)
FB

Ditto. For whatever reason, my cell cannot receive the SMS code from Apple. I'm located in Mexico - but I've done 2-step authentication in the past without problem. Phone number triple-checked and accurate.
And of course, y iPad won't connect to our office WiFi for some reason (stupid D-link routers, apparently)....
A real pain when I can't log-in to my office iMac to access iCloud mail....

Unable to login to iTunes (from appleTV) after apple ID two step verification enabled

I recently enabled two step verification for appleID. Now when I attempt to use that appleID with my appleTV, I am unable to login to iTunes. Should I not have enabled two step verification ? Do I need to revert back to user name / password only for my appleID, which I use in conjunction with my appleTV ?

brianb

dis-regard this problem. I was able to regain normal operation, once I reset my appleTV, and re-configured it using my current appleID. It is rather odd though that I need to re-set my appleTV each time I change my appleID.

Whats the status of Two Step Verification in Canada?

Has anyone heard what the status of Two Step Verification is in Canada. I have not been able to set it up since it was (supposedly) set up a few months ago. Thanks for your time.

I have read a dozen news articles regarding two step verification in Canada. They are all a few months old and clearly state that it is ready to go here in Canada. However I have tried the steps to set it up and nothing! It seems to be a dead issue as I can not find any recent info about two step verification in Canada. I was really hoping that with iOS 7 it would have appeared in my account settings but no.

HT5593 Cannot get two step verification to work

I cannot get the two step verification SMS message received on my iPhone. I tested my iPhone by sending text messages to it from other sources and it works but the SMS message from Apple needed to verify two step verification does not go through. I have iOS 8.1 on an iPhone 5s.

Also, I read this on one of the Apple Support Documents:
How do I use Find My iPhone notifications to receive verification codes?
Find My iPhone notifications can be used to receive verification codes on any iOS device with Find My iPhone turned on.
How indeed do you do this? It isn't clear at all. It just says that you can use your "Find My iPhone" notifications to receive the verification codes. But how?

How does two step verification work with an iPad?

Two step verification seems to require an iPhone for the code - can it be set up for an iPad?

Apple ID Two-Step verification FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

Will Apple ID 2-step span across my entire iCloud, similar to how the Google Authenticator will protect Gmail, Blogger, Drive, etc? Right now it only prevents purchases or account changes.

I would like to use iCloud services more, but I prefer the security of the Google Authenticator 2-step system. I just installed the Apple ID 2-step, but was disappointed to learn that it only prevents account changes and purchases. It will not stop people from accessing your iCloud email or seeing your contacts or any other services you may have with Apple.
Will the Apple ID 2-step take steps to be like the Google Authenticator?

The Apple ID & 2-step verification doesn't stop one from logging into iCloud from a browser and then access/delete adderss book info etc. It is frustrating that Apple turned on 2-step but has nothing to extend or implement it for iCloud. When I called their tech support I was told that it will be rolled out shortly. Until such time the 2 step in place is pretty much useless.

Two step verification in Canada SMS does not work with Telus

Just saw the announcement that Two step verification for your Apple account is now available to Canada.
http://www.macnn.com/articles/13/05/10/option.will.appear.automatically.in.accou nt.details/
Tried to sign up, unfortunately after many attempts and testing with a few different phones it appears that Apples SMS server is not connected with Telus mobility as the messages never come through to any of my phones on the Telus network.
So maybe the announcement is a little premature.

False start.
The option to sign up for two step verification has now been removed again.
I guess they have to get the SMS feature working first.
Here is a request. Apple can you implement the industry standard time based authentication protocol:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-based_One-time_Password_Algorithm
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238
Same one is being used by:
Google
Dropbox
Lastpass
Microsoft
Amazon AWS
Then you can use one of the many apps available for smartphones and support users who want something secure but that does not require SMS or an apple hardware device to login to their apple id.

HT5593 How do i get sms support for two step verification in Canada with Telus ?

i have followed the procedure for setting up two step authentication and the part where it's suppose to send me an sms code is where it fails. the code just never comes. anyone else having this issue ? fyi, im in Canada and using telus.
i know when they first announced two step verification in Canada sms support was not there but now it's listed specifically for Canada and Telus on Apple support page. so what's the issue ?
i know Apple has had tons of issues with sms codes outside the US but i figured by now they would get it right so i'm hoping there's just something i'm missing.

i've even tried putting my sim card into a non-iphone, still no luck.
Then how on earth is the iPhone the issue????
Oh wait, it isn't.
Unbelievable...

HT5593 Hi, for two-step verification there is no Kuwait & Pakistan country for SMS. How we can proceed if we belong one of these countries?

Hi, for two-step verification there is no Kuwait & Pakistan country for SMS. How we can proceed if we belong one of these countries?

We have no idea. We are not Apple. I'd expect a long wait in Pakistan, though, since Apple does not do business or provide support there at all.

HT202656 verification code not sent to my iPhone (Sprint) for two-step verification for apple id

I have tried to set up two-step verification several times using iCloud, first my iMac and then, when that didn't work, on my iPhone, all to no avail. I followed the instructions up to and including the step where the message says I will receive an SMS on my iPhone with a verification code. I never received the message with the verification code.
I am using Sprint as my internet provider and working with an iMac with Mavericks 10.9.5 as the operating system and iPhone 6 with IOS 8.2

Hey dagored,
Thanks for the question. I would recommend completing the two-step verification process and then changing the SMS number associated once you upgrade:
Apple ID: About two-step verification and SMS
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5593
Or you can opt to complete the process and then turn two-step verification off completely:

Thanks,

Two-step verification code from apple

Hi, I've been trying to setup again the "two step verification security code" from Apple and they request that I add a telephone number for verification, to which they send a SMS with the 4 digit code when I try to access/change my contact details from apple/icloud to verify it's me and not somebody else. I've run into problems with my two meteor numbers. The text is never received from apple even though the network is listed as one that is able to receive texts from Apple. https://support.apple.com/en-ie/HT202656 I have no problem setting up the two step verification procedure if I add another mobile number I have from the Three network. The verification codes are received. But, I don't want to have to use that number as I hardly have it with me. Is this a known issue with meteor? It used to work when I was with emobile? I used to get the texts. But, then they stopped coming. It is also affecting my Apple Pay. I have UK cards which I have added to my phone, but Apple has to verify my nymber through text. They send the text, but I never receive it. (it is not an imessage, by the way. iMessage works perfectly). They have to be proper mobile messages (SMS) for the verification process, but I only run into issues with the meteor network. Is there a filter setup somewhere that stops Apple from delivering their messages to Meteor customers? It happens in my two numbers. Thank you so much for your help.Dani

I had this yesterday as well. I discovered that it was because I had changed the app restrictions on my iPad to 12+ from Allow All Apps. I don't know if this helps in your case, but it seems that access to the device app that controls the AppleID is required on verified devices.
The email is unhelpful - it would be better if it said a bit more about why devices may cease to be trusted.
