Option 1: Authenticating Your Phone
First
◊ Enter your phone number
◊ Select whether you would prefer to receive a call or a text message
Then
Microsoft will quickly respond with a PIN.
◊ Enter the PIN that you received and click the verify button
Finally

A green check mark will appear, confirming your phone number.
This concludes the setup process for your phone.
* If you received your PIN in a text message, you may delete it.
**
While Microsoft is usually quick to respond, there are a lot of reasons why a call or text message may take a few
minutes to arrive. Please consider waiting a few minutes before making a duplicate request. Also, keep in mind that
each new request voids the previous PIN, should it eventually arrive.
*** Be sure to use the PIN found in the BODY of the text message. Often, these texts are sent from very short telephone numbers that look like they
could be a PIN.
