    My Microsoft Account Verification Code, is being send, to an cell phone, that is not my cell phone any more.

    And I cannot actualize my information, without the Verification code.

    What can I do?

    Seems to send the verification code to all the alternate contact methods.  I don't know if it allows multiple cell phone number but Maybe you could add a 2nd email account.   Or call your old phone number and ask for the code with a small explanation :)

    I have 2-step account verification enabled on my account, but I never receive security codes on my phone. I receive alerts to the same number but not the codes. Annoying.
