Can you receive SMS verification code from Yahoo Mail today(25 Aug 2025)?
I could not receive any SMS 2FA messages when logging in Yahoo Mail from Hong Kong. And I dunno how to report it to Yahoo, without paying money.

I've had problems with some sites that just do not send the codes, but
will not send the codes. They demand landline or mobile number. They
won't send to my Google Voice phone number. Their excuse is that codes cannot be sent to GV yet everyone else manages to do it. It's THEY that refuse to do it.
Sometimes such anal retentive sites have an alternate method of
delivering the code, like sending it to the e-mail address in your
account. Since you are trying to get into your Yahoo account, and that
might be your e-mail address, they probably have a recovery e-mail
address you can specify. Once defined, see if you can have the code
sent to your recovery e-mail address.
Do you have a different phone number that can receive SMS texts other
than the one currently recorded in your Yahoo account? If so, change to
the other phone number to see if then you can get the codes.

This is SOOO annoying. I keep an old cellphone ($10/year) up to date
just to receive 2FA codes. Some entities will send to email, but ONE of >them is unable to change from that old phone number. Small change, but
it's annoying. The Pixel2 can take e-sim, and Keepgo can convert the
data SIM that uses google voice to an e-sim, but I'm thinking of getting
a newer phone so I have't pursued that yet.

It also has the option to send e-mail as if it is
originating from a different e-mail address (such as your problematic
yahoo email address).

Potential inexpensive or possibly even free alternatives: (1) "burner
phone" and a sim card that has very low or even no fees for text msgs,
or (2) establish a new gmail account (free) and then in your yahoo mail settings, forward all incoming mail to the new gmail address. Gmail has
2FA as an option. It also has the option to send e-mail as if it is originating from a different e-mail address (such as your problematic
yahoo email address).
