adding a phone number for alias

I want to add my cell phone number to my alias list, but keep getting the message, "This phone number is already taken. Please try another." How can I use my cell
phone number as a second alias? I have had my cell phone number for 10+ years.

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are trying to add you cell phone number to your alias list and you see the error "This phone number is already taken. Please try another."



Ideally, this error comes up when the phone number is already associated to a Microsoft account. We would like to know whether you have used the same number on any other Microsoft account.



However, to add an alias, we would suggest you to refer the section
I want to use a different email address or phone number to sign in from the article

Change the email address or phone number for your Microsoft account.



You can also get in touch with the Microsoft account team by emailing them. Please refer,

Blocking Cell Phone Numbers

Here's one way to get around the problem. It's kludgy but it should work.

Get a VOIP based phone service or a magic jack. For 24/7 access, you're better off with VOIP that uses an ethernet adapter, but that's up to the user.

The important point is to find one that lets you create your own "black list" of callers. Usually they will have both black and white list options and these are usually a subcategory under the "do not disturb" or similar feature.

The provider will usually let you create a second number for $5-10 per month. You'll use this for your cell phone number. If it is ever compromised, you can change it easily without affecting the base number.

Forward the second number to your cell phone and give everyone that one as your "cell phone" number. There will be a delay of a few seconds as calls get routed, but who cares. It's not like any of us is on Obama's speed dial right?

Now when you get assholes calling you, just add them to the black list.

You can also block calls w/o caller id this way if your cell phone co. doesn't already do that for you.
