Cant add my phone number

Hi Pieter! 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: 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 with 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:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/contactus "

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.

Best regards,
Darhyl

im not sure what you mean. i cant login in to add another phone number and the only verification source attached to the account in question is an email. i dont get an option to add a phone number or use a phone number to get my verification code.

Hi Ahmad , my name is Oskayra and I would be happy to help.

Use a different browser, Sometimes problems with entering information can be browser-specific. Try using a different web browser to see if that resolves the issue.

Check your locale, Make sure your Microsoft account's locale matches your actual location. Some issues may occur if your location settings do not match where your phone number is coming from.

Hi Sorrowfist,

My name is Aileen, and I’m an Xbox Expert and user myself. I’m sorry you’re facing this issue with adding your phone number to Microsoft Rewards; that sounds frustrating. Just a quick reminder, this is a public forum, and I can’t access or make changes to your account, but I’m here to help as best as I can with the info available.

The “too many failed password attempts” message, even though you haven’t made any error, can happen if Microsoft’s security system temporarily blocks actions due to suspected suspicious activity. Here’s what you can try:

Sign out from all Microsoft accounts on all devices and browsers, then sign back in on one device only.

Clear your browser cache and cookies, or try using a different browser or an incognito/private window.

Wait 24 hours before trying again to let any temporary restrictions lift.

Disable any VPNs or proxy services as they can trigger security alerts.

Double-check that your account’s security info is current and your password is strong and secure.

If after these steps the problem persists, the best next step is to contact Microsoft Support directly using these links:

I hope this helps you move forward. Please let me know if you need anything else!

Thank you!

Aileen
