ARCEOALEX15,

This certainly isn't the way we wanted to welcome you to the Verizon family, so we're here to help get the messaging working properly for you. We'll need a bit more information because it's strange that you're having trouble receiving verification code texts. Are you able to send/receive regular(non-iMessage) texts on your new phone? To confirm, were you able to receive any codes via text that we sent to you regarding your Verizon account?
