Trying to enable Keychain on my Mac, iPad and iPhone. When I hit enable it says Approve with Security Code. I enter a 4 digit code which I think is correct, although I don't recall making one. It then goes to a Verification Code screen and says it is sent to my phone number (1-***-***-**22 [and my last 2 are 22]) and asked for a 6 number code.

Is it supposed to send me a text message? I don't get anything and have no way of entering the code. I have tried a dozen times and at least a couple on each device but nothing happens. I even checked my iTunes account and my phone number is correct.

Running iOS 8, Yo DP8 and Drive. What am I doing wrong?

Set up trusted devices and at least one with SMS capability at appleid.apple.com. You also will set up a security code.

I just checked my info at appleid.apple.com and my phone number is correct. I tried again on my iPhone, which is my Apple registered number. Here is the screen I get but no message is sent.

EDIT: Was on 8.0.1 and updated to 8.0.2 but still no message is sent.
