Hello,

I joined the Microsoft 365 Developer Program using my brother’s phone number for verification.

Now my Developer Program account is locked to that number, and I cannot change it to my own.

My correct phone number is already listed and verified under my Microsoft Account security info,

but in the Developer Program setup screen I only see the old number and there is no option to remove or replace it.

Could you please reset the phone number associated with my Developer Program subscription,

or enable me to change it so I can use my own number instead?

Thank you in advance for your help.

    Hi @Shira Amosi

    Thank you for posting question to Microsoft Q&A. 

    I completely understand how inconvenient it must feel to have your Developer Program profile tied to your brother’s phone number instead of your own. 

    Based on my research, I couldn’t find any official documentation or supported option to change the phone number once it has been provided during Developer Program registration. As far as I know, this information cannot be modified afterward. As a forum moderator, I don’t have access to Microsoft’s internal systems, and my role is limited to guiding discussions and sharing best practices based on publicly available documentation and community knowledge. 

    If you think it’s important to update your phone number or if my response here does not fully resolve your concern, I recommend contacting Microsoft Developer Support for further assistance. Their support team is best positioned to provide direct help and resolve such issues effectively. 

    Please note that this is a paid support ticket, which means it requires an active support plan or a one-time support purchase. However, the benefit of using this channel is that your inquiry will be routed directly to the Microsoft Product Group responsible for the specific service or feature in question. This team includes engineers and developers who work on the product itself, so they are best positioned to provide accurate, in-depth, and authoritative answers especially for complex or edge-case scenarios that go beyond publicly available documentation or community knowledge. 

    Thank you again for your patience and understanding, and please let me know if you have any other questions.
