  1. I set up a child account for my 6 year old and I had to provide a phone number


    I set up an account for my 6 year old. Had to have a phone number. But my phone number can only be linked to one account (mine). How can I have a child account and share my phone number for validation/ verification purposes.

    :)

    I forgot my Xbox 360 4-digit password that is locked on my Xbox live account. Help please

    Is it possible to do without the email or old phone number? I had an xbox 360 account around 6 years ago and can't get in

    Cannot play Ea games online

    I had to contact EA about my age. It was set to 3 years old and I am 30+ years. When they asked if I had children, I said yes. Then they told me the child set up the account.



    I told them my child was one year old ( at the time) so if you are going to give the run around then I will need your name, ref# etc. I am done talking to you........needless to say I got them to change the age on the account after I got someone else on
    the phone.

    A family frustration - Repeated Account suspensions and blocked phone numbers

    Would you care to reference the rule that says that my 5 year old cannot use her father's phone number in the security settings?

    The only common thing between all 6 accounts is the phone number...

    No, my kids don't have their own phones.

    Locked out of account.

    It's a personal account. I lost my cell phone in November of last year and opted not to buy a new one because I have a work cell phone with the job I have now. To save costs, I let my old number go. We'll my old cell phone had my authenticator and my Gmail account as well as my Microsoft account was tied to both. The account I don't have access to is *****@gmail.com which is what I have my Microsoft ultimate subscription tied to. My old cell number is 6********. My new Gmail account is ********@gmail.com and cell phone is 6********. My dob is ******. My name and address is ****** . I can provide my drivers license, credit card, gamertag, as well as Xbox serial number, screens hots, etc. I'm a it engineer that is a Microsoft partner.

    How can I talk to someone from Microsoft customer service?

    Good morning Josef, thank you for responding; I have already expressed my problem. I want to delete my old email and old telephone number

    so that I can log into my account. I can not find any options to change the email or the phone number which is needed for verification. I have

    set up another account with my updated email and new phone number but there are still some accesses that are denied because of inability to

    verify my account with the obsolete email and phone number. I would appreciate any assisstance that you might provide with this matter.
