how to change your phone number on your microsoft account

Are you looking for ways to manage your phone number on your Microsoft account? You're in the right place! In this article, we'll walk you through the steps to assign or change a phone number associated with your Microsoft account.

Before we dive into the instructions, it's essential to note that the functionality of assigning numbers may vary depending on your Operator. If you are using Operator Connect or Operator Connect Mobile, you may not be able to assign or change the associated emergency location. However, if you're looking to do so, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the Microsoft Teams admin center with a user that has Global admin privileges.

2. Search for and select the location under Emergency Location.

3. In the Edit pane, search for the user by display name or username, and click Assign.

Now, let's move on to assigning an unassigned number from your Phone numbers page:

1. Select an unassigned number from the list and click Edit.

2. In the left navigation menu, click Voice > Phone numbers.

When assigning a phone number to a user, it's crucial to ensure that the phone number and usage location of the user are in the same country. If you're assigning a Calling Plan or Operator Connect phone number to a user or resource account, make sure any phone number stored in the msRTCSIP-Line attribute on the user or resource account object in your on-premises Active Directory has been removed and synchronized with Microsoft 365.

This note applies specifically to customers who have a hybrid deployment with an on-premises Active Directory. If you're unsure about any of these steps, it's always a good idea to consult with your IT administrator for further guidance.

That's it! Changing your phone number on your Microsoft account is now a breeze. Remember to always ensure that your phone number and usage location are in the same country when assigning a new number. If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to our support team.
