What kind of SMS? Two factor authentication, or something else that Facebook does?

Response by poster: This is not a country Verizon covers-might the Verizon outage affect Facebook sending the 2fa sms?

The Verizon outage _might_ explain the issue whether your phone is on Verizon or not. Facebook has to contract with _some_ SMS service owner to provide bulk SMS capabilities; that _might_ be Verizon.
