[Deleted User]

I am trying to set up a Samsung tablet, fine until I get to the verification code which its says will be sent to my samsung mobile..........I have tried numerous times to get the message with the code and it just is not responding , no message with the code up on my phone.......any suggestions? Its very frustrating.

Make sure it has the correct mobile number....Not trying to teach you how to suck eggs but I've had it happen...
Make sure you put the country code in manually don't just tap on UK or anything.

Please forgive the obvious questions: 
1) Do you have a Samsung phone?
2) If yes, is the tablet and phone both logged into the same Samsung account?
3) If the tablet brand new, or if second-hand, been fully factory reset?

Thanks for your comments, I did eventually get an email, so have managed to get in and finish setting it up. just need to switch off the Bixby off, drives me nuts.

If you find a solution to that, please do share with the world - It drives us all crazy! Best hack I've seen is to remap the button to open a different application

Yes, remap the bixby key and use Google Assistant. On mine you can remap the button to do nothing.
Look in the Bixby app - settings - voice - turn it off.
Get rid of the Bixby screen by turning it off, so you don't accidentally swipe it.
Not sure if all these work on the newer models, but, worth a try.

The amount of garbage on phones and tablets annoys me.  Stuff I know I will never use, such as Bixby, just takes up space for no useful purpose.
