I was trying to get my phone number off my old account that my brother was using, but every time I try to add my phone number its keep saying "That verification method isn't working right now. Please try another method", and the tab says "Blocked", and at first I thought my account was block [for Some reason], but I could still sign in, Then i tryed to refresh a few times. but that also didnt work, and the thing is I can put the phone number, back on the other account, but not on the other one i'm trying to get it on.

    Such useless, shameful team, we suffered a lot just because of unavailability of any support. After trying All the possibilities and community suggestions still @ same point.

    Different devices different location different wifi different network but still same, “Better Luck Next Time” 🤬

    I have tried all the possibilities. But still it doesn’t work. Even though i remember the recent Set Emails, Old Password, Personal Information but still it doesn’t. I tried same phone which one i’m always using to login. Same laptop. But still doesn’t work. I tried to make a gap of a week to login again but no use. Kindly help me if someone knows.

    Same issue, stuck in a loop and none of the advice works. Microsoft support is non-existent, I'm paying for software I cannot use.
