I am trying to set up teams accounts for my 2 kids since we all will need different logins between my work and their school.  I was able to create the account, get a verification email to the child's email address, but when I try to finish setting up the account, it requires a phone number.  My children do not have phones and it will not let me use my phone number again.  How do I set it up without requiring another phone number?

    MS wants your phone number so when you go over their 'free' limits on the product, they will directly bill your cell account for the usage making it extremely difficult to reverse the charges. Read their usage policy, they have 'waived' their current fee schedule due to covid but do not list when they will reinstate it, so they will be catching loads of people that got used to using the service unaware and cash in huge.

    Would you expect anything else from such a company?

    This policy does NOT guarantee validation, which is the excuse/justification MS is using, and is yet another INTRUSIVE violation of privacy, making all users susceptible to being hacked on another level! NO!

    Microsoft is trying to push people to Teams From Skype. I understand That. Teams is pretty much a new version of Skype. Skype only Needed your Microsoft Account. Teams also Needs a Phone Number!!! Ridiculous. Microsoft, Either put all of the Teams features into Skype, or Stop asking for a Phone Number! It's That Simple! I want to talk to my Friends in Teams instead of Skype, and They Don't have a phone or/and phone number!

    This should work:

    Microsoft have moved from Uservoice to their own Dynamics platform.
