Hi all Thanks for any help that can be given here . 7 months ago I forgot my email password and as normal would be sent a code over the phone in a voice message . Problem is my phone is a landline and this is what was always used in the past , But at some point without my knowledge Microsoft decided that they would only send out text messages and not a voice message . So my landline phone not being able to receive a text message has seen Microsoft block my account and I have not been able to even change over my landline number to a mobile . The landline number that Microsoft was sending codes to in a voice message has not changed and not one single person at Microsoft has been of help in sorting out my issue , Can someone please assist me as the email account is something I really need back .I have even sent in over 70 recovery forms

Hi @briandsheahotmailcom 

Please read this information below, but the landline transmits the codes aloud, but this is speed reading so you need to be prepared - there is no other option.

Unblock my Outlook.com account (microsoft.com)

Thank you for the message I have tried what you suggested many times but my landline number now will not ring when I add the last four numbers so nothing can happen I dont understand why a simple voice message cannot be sent to me on my land line as done before so I can then reset everything
