Please help I encountered this error while attempting to add a phone number to my Microsoft account. The error message I received is as follows:

"Add phone number

Try another verification method That verification method isn't working right now. Please try another method."

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

    Also read this Microsoft Support article, about authentication methods
