My Sign-Ins Security Info - change sign-in method from Phone-Text to Office Phone

With this new MFA sign-in for Microsoft 365 Office, I am currently using my cellphone with the Authenticator app. But I want to change it to signing in by our Office Phone. I can add in the Office Phone as a backup method. How do I change it as my Default? I try to Delete my cellphone but it gives me an error message that it can't delete that number. Any ideas or suggestions?

    You can update your sign-in method by going into your Microsoft 365 account settings. Under "Security & Privacy," select "Additional Security Verification" to manage your sign-in options. If you're encountering an error while trying to delete your cellphone number, ensure that you've set your office phone as a primary contact.
