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

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.
