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.

    Guys who dont know how to fix it , you can see this tutorial and see the part with using microsoft support

    https://windowsreport.com/cant-add-phone-number-to-microsoft-account/

    You can talk there with real person and this might help you better,

    they told me it can take up to 3 days to get response from somebody higher but I think that we have better chance to

    solve it like that

    I will try to post an update if they fixed it for me

    update: After more than week It finally works even they didn't tell me that it should work but Ive kept trying every day at least once

    So it might be because of them , or it just fixed itself somehow
