I have moved to a new iPhone as my old phone stopped working. I cannot get into my Microsoft accounts as I have passwordless setup, so defaults to validation code via alternate email accounts and my mobile. The Mobile text validation cpde appears to be blocked and has been for 24 hours, so I am stuck from getting into my accounts on my phone. I do have access on my Mac, so know the email validation codes are being generated. It is the mobile text that is the problem. How long do I have to wait for this to unblock. Is there anything else I can do?
