Issues with Multiple Microsoft Accounts Using the Same Phone Number

Hi everyone,

I’m having a frustrating issue with my Microsoft accounts and hoping for some advice. I have three separate Microsoft accounts, each with a different email address, because I have three separate Minecraft accounts. However, all three accounts are linked to the same mobile phone number.

The problem is that every time I try to verify ownership of one account using my phone number, one of the other accounts seems to go inactive or gets flagged. It seems Microsoft doesn’t handle multiple accounts sharing the same phone number very well.

Has anyone dealt with something similar, or does anyone know a safe way to manage multiple Microsoft accounts tied to the same number without causing issues for the others?

Thanks in advance!
