Amazon may not be sending SMS notifications due to a few reasons. Ensure your mobile number is correctly entered in your Amazon account settings under 'Login & security'. Check if SMS notifications are enabled in 'Shipment Updates via Text' for the specific orders. If those settings are correct, the issue might be with your mobile carrier, possibly blocking these notifications, or you may have a Do Not Disturb mode activated that prevents such SMS. Contacting Amazon Customer Service for account-specific issues is also a recommended step.
