Cannot Send In-Game Messages (Minecraft)

Hey there Owlbearchampion.

To start things out, are you posting from the newly created account or is this a different account? Have you had a chance to check for Enforcement action over
Enforcement.xbox.com?

This can happen because of an incomplete account setup.

Try going thought the following steps to update everything on the account.

There's a lot of info here so read through the steps first.

1) Start by going to your account here -
https://account.microsoft.com/profile/

2) Make sure there's a First and Last Name on the account

3) The sign in email address that you used for the account, (don't post that info here) but if you used another email like a @gmail.com email address, make sure you completed the email address verification for the account

4) Where it says Edit your personal info, click on that and update your info there

5) Where is says Edit your billing info, click on that and update your info there

6) Go here - https://account.microsoft.com/security

- under Update your security info click on Update info

- make sure you have a phone and email on your account so you have options to verify or recover your account (You stated you don't have a phone but you'll really want at least two email addresses there)

7) After your account info is all up to date, remove the account from your Xbox console and hard reset it (press the power button down on the front of the Xbox One for 15 sec, then let it go and restart it)

8) Then add your account back to your Xbox One and try to send a message again

Reminder, don't post any of your account info here, your GT is ok to post.

Hey there, TeamCuff!

Sorry to see any issues with your account! That error you're seeing is slightly off. It's not with Xbox, but with Microsoft Account. I suggest trying this
reputation link to unlock your account. It will first ask for a phone number, send a code to that number, then you will put that number into the site's text box. After you submit it, it
will bring you to your profile page. After you've successfully done that, try messaging someone again.

Let me know how that goes! If you are still having issues, we'll want to dig into it further. Thanks for posting!
