    For Microsoft 365 for business, phone support is available, but it is intended for admins on a business subscription.

    Use one of these paths:

    1. In the Microsoft 365 admin center, go to https://admin.cloud.microsoft.
    2. Select Help & support at the bottom right.
    3. Enter the issue.
    4. If the results do not help, select Contact Support.
    5. Choose phone or email, confirm the contact details, and submit the request. The expected wait time is shown in the support pane.

    Important details:

    • At least one subscription must be bought directly through Microsoft to access Microsoft support. If all subscriptions were bought through a partner, support must come through that partner.
    • If access to the admin center fails with a permissions message, the account is not an admin account.
    • Before contacting support, check the current service health in the Microsoft 365 admin experience, because an email access issue may already be listed there.
    • For phone support, Microsoft states that phone numbers have changed and the current number must be taken from the global phone numbers list for the country or region.
    • If calling from a number not registered in the organization profile, Microsoft uses a PIN-based verification step and sends a verification code to the registered email or phone number in the Microsoft 365 admin center profile.
    • Technical support is provided in English 24/7, with local language support varying by country or region.

    If not an admin, the correct path is the general support page instead of the business admin support methods.

    Hi @Jennifer Harmon

    First of all, I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties you're experiencing. I understand from your description that you are paying for a Microsoft 365 Business subscription and need technical support, but you have been unable to get the assistance you expect. I know that can be very frustrating, and I'd like to help gather some information so we can better understand the situation.

    To help troubleshoot this, could you please provide the following details?

    -Are you able to sign in to the Microsoft 365 Admin Center? If yes, could you check whether your Microsoft 365 Business license is still active and assigned correctly to your account?

    -Please let me know which license you currently have (for example, Microsoft 365 Business Basic, Business Standard, Business Premium, etc.).

    -When you say you cannot access your email, could you clarify what exactly happens?

    -Are you able to sign in to Outlook on Web? If not, what error message do you receive? A screenshot of the error would be very helpful.

    In the meantime, you can also contact Microsoft Support through the following page: Contact Microsoft customer support | Microsoft Support 

    Please provide the information above, and I'll do my best to point you in the right direction and help narrow down the cause of the issue.
