We cannot send an SMS message to this number

Hi Sotir Geambazu,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forums. We appreciate for sharing your concern with us and we hope that you are doing well today other than this account issue.

Let's work on this together and see if this will work from your end.

Troubleshooting steps:

• Try different phone number(s) capable of receiving SMS text
  
• Try a different browser/device

• Try clearing browser cache.
  

We hope it worked out well for you. If not, please reply back to this forum to let us know so we could find other options to resolve the problem.

Hi Tinus , my name is Jhon, and will be a pleasure help you

The problem that you present is something strange, maybe, it is my assumption that the account was blocked for trying to send that code to multiple phone numbers, currently what I can recommend you to recover the account of your son, is to fill out the recovery form through the following link:

https://account.live.com/acsr

Be careful with the information you are requested and I strongly hope that you can recover your account.

Best regards. Jhon

"We cannot send a text message to this number."

Is the phone number (eg cellphone) you are using capable of receiving SMS text messages? If it is a VOIP number, there may be a possibility that it won't work (eg I can't use a FONGO VOIP number for Twitter SMS messages).

Good luck!
