Windows 10: Cannot add payment method (mobile device) to Microsoft Store

When I try to add payment through a mobile device as a payment method in Microsoft Store, the app tells me to try again. I have tried numerous times, I have checked whether my mobile operator supports this, I have checked whether my mobile number is accurate—to no avail. I am not sure what to do at this point.

• On the phone or on windowsphone.com, tap
  Add or switch payment methods on the purchase confirmation screen.

Like always, things are made difficult for the end user

Hi Darey2013,



Thanks for posting on the forum,



I would suggest to do the following: from your phone go to settings > email+ account > and check the first email on the list under "Microsoft Account", then from your pc log in to this web site

Sign in to your Microsoft account with the same email and password and check, please, under payment method if you can see your credit card listed, if not click
on "add payment method" and add your credit card.



After that restart your phone and check if you can buy an app to test the card.



Let me know if this helps.



Regards.
