A Microsoft account (Outlook, Xbox, Teams, Microsoft 365) can ask for a phone number at sign-up or as security info. Microsoft has also announced it will move personal accounts away from SMS codes.

**Quick answer — Can I verify Microsoft with a non-VoIP number?**

Yes. RealSIM Numbers sells SIM-based mobile numbers that receive the Microsoft SMS code, from $0.38 per code in the US as of October 2026. Microsoft states that "VOIP numbers cannot be added as a way to sign in or get verification codes." No code, no charge.

## What does Microsoft say about phone numbers?

- "VOIP numbers cannot be added as a way to sign in or get verification codes."
- "Excessive or repetitive requests to alternative emails or phone numbers can cause us to block you"; Microsoft adds that this "can result in temporary or permanent blocks."
- Microsoft says "we will start phasing out SMS as a method of authentication and account recovery for personal Microsoft accounts", in favour of passkeys and verified email.
- "The option to add a new phone number may not be available for your Microsoft account."

## How do I receive the Microsoft code?

1. **Order a Microsoft number** — Choose Microsoft and a country; the price is shown before you confirm.
2. **Request one code** — Enter the number once and ask for a text. Repeated requests can lead Microsoft to block the request.
3. **Add a passkey** — After sign-in, add a passkey or the Authenticator app, since Microsoft is moving away from SMS codes.

Each number has a reception window, shown before you pay. Codes that arrive inside the window appear in your account.

## What should I watch out for with Microsoft?

- Ask for the code once and wait for it; Microsoft says repeated requests can lead to blocks.
- Because Microsoft is phasing out SMS for personal accounts, set up a passkey rather than relying on a phone number for recovery.

## Frequently asked questions

### Does Microsoft accept VoIP numbers?

No. Its support page says VoIP numbers cannot be added to sign in or get verification codes. Our numbers are SIM-based mobile lines.

### Is SMS still used for Microsoft accounts?

Microsoft says it will phase out SMS for authentication and recovery on personal accounts, without a date on the page we read (October 2026).

### What happens if no code arrives?

If no SMS arrives before the window ends, or the service refuses the number, cancel the order: the price goes back to your balance as credit. You are not charged for a number that received no code.

### Do I need to verify my identity?

No. RealSIM Numbers asks for no ID, no selfie and no documents: an email and a password open an account. The [acceptable use policy](https://realsimnumbers.com/acceptable-use) still applies to every order.
