If adding a phone number to your Microsoft account isn’t working on your Windows PC, we’ll provide you with the steps needed to resolve the error.

Why can’t I add my phone number to my Microsoft account?

There are a couple of reasons why you can’t add your phone number to your Microsoft account. They include:

Typing mistake – When prompted to receive a verification code, make sure that you’ve entered the last 4 digits of your phone number correctly. Weak signal – Make sure you have a strong signal to receive SMS messages. Phone settings – Sometimes, phone settings block texts from unknown numbers. If this is the case, make sure you modify it and then try again. Waiting time – Also, sometimes, pin messages may arrive in a few minutes. If this is the case, we advise you to wait.

Now that we know what we’re up against, let’s see how to fix the problem quickly.

What can I do if adding my phone number to my Microsoft account is not working?

1. Use a different number.

2. Request another verification code for a few hours or even a day.

3. Contact Microsoft support.

  1. If any of the previous two isn’t working, go to Microsoft Support’s page. Click on Show expanded list of products.
