I have attempted to add my phone number using the provided verification method, but it seems to be malfunctioning at the moment. As a result, I am unable to successfully link my phone number to my Microsoft account also I would like to claim a Microsoft Reward, but I need to add a phone number. However, I am encountering this problem.

    Tip : How can I verify my Microsoft account without a phone number

    You can try using an alternate contact method like an email address

    or authentication app. This offers flexibility and verifies your identity.

    You can also use security questions, set up during the account

    creation process. This will prove you own the

    account and you can get back in

    Hi, Dave.

    I'm Jen. I'm an independent advisor and would happily help you figure this out.

    I understand you're unable to add your phone number to your account. I suggest that you first try clearing your browser's cache, cookies and site data then restart your browser and then retry adding your phone number. If the issue persists, try using inprivate browsing or a different browser or device. If all possible step are exhausted, it would be best to reach out to support to investigate your account and for better assistance.
