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 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,

I was just on the phone with microsoft and basically said only thing I could do was to get someone elses number but iv already used my friends numbers for my other accounts so they are at the limit too. I managed to get a few back as they had my phone
number already in the account info so if i reset my password using phone it let me in but the rest dont have my number in the account info already and i cant sign in to add it so im kinda stuck.
