Microsoft rewards phone number verification not working.

Hi Frank! I'm more than happy to help you!

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Microsoft Rewards. No worries, let me help you sort this out.

Try to use a different device such as a mobile phone or PC/laptop upon adding your phone number to see if it works.

If you're still unable to add your phone number, this may be due to the number you're adding is already associated with a different Microsoft account.

Kindly try to add a different phone number and please make sure that the number is not associated with any Microsoft account.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

Best Regards,
Darhyl

Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Microsoft Rewards.

According to Independent Advisor Adeyemi Olayemi Samuel who answered a similar inquiry: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...an-alias/904a08da-bafa-48a0-8c74-57df877e1787

"Kindly try to perform the following workarounds using the same phone number:

> Sign into your Microsoft account at account.microsoft.com
> Click on "Your info" at the top of the page, then select "Manage how you sign into Microsoft" from the left-hand menu.
> Click on "Add email or phone number" and select "Add a phone number".
> Enter your phone number and follow the prompts to verify it.

If you're still having trouble adding the phone number as an alias, it could be due to the phone number you're trying to add is already associated with another Microsoft account.

I have also experienced the same issue before. In this case, you'll need to use a different/new phone number from your own number that has not been associated to any Microsoft account yet.

If you continue to have trouble adding a phone number as an alias, you may want to contact Microsoft support for further assistance:

Also, avoid VoIP phone numbers: If you were using a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone number previously, consider switching to a traditional mobile or landline number. Sometimes, VoIP numbers may not be recognized or accepted during the verification process.

Choose the call option: During the verification process, you have the choice between receiving a text message or a phone call for the verification code. If the text message option is not working, select the call option and enter your home phone number.

Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please let me know if you require further assistance.

• Go to Manage your security info and sign in with your Microsoft account.
  
• Select Add New under Phone number or under Alternate email address.
  
• Follow the instructions to set up and confirm the new proof.
• If you already have a proof on your account, you might need to use that proof to verify the addition of a new proof.
  Note Proofs can be added to new accounts without validation for a short period. Existing accounts will need to have their proofs validated by using an existing proof.
  
• If you’re unable to access any of your current proofs (such as a phone number you don’t recognize or an expired email account), see Get help with
  your Microsoft account security proofs.
