I tried signing in to my account this morning. I entered my email address to receive a code but didn't receive one. I clicked on send a code to my phone but it's showing my old number, not the one that is listed on my account details page. How do i get this old number deleted so i can have texts sent to my current number?

    To remove an old phone number from your account and ensure that texts are sent to your current number, you will need to manage your phone number settings in Microsoft Entra. Here are the steps you can follow:

    1. Access Your Account: Sign in to your Microsoft account.
    2. Navigate to Phone Number Management: Go to the section where you can manage your phone numbers. This may be under your profile settings or security settings.
    3. Edit Phone Number: Look for an option to edit or remove phone numbers. You should see your old number listed there.
    4. Remove the Old Number: Select the option to remove or delete the old phone number.
    5. Add Your Current Number: If your current number is not already listed, you can add it by selecting the option to add a new phone number.
    6. Save Changes: Make sure to save any changes you make.

    If you are unable to remove the old number or if it continues to show up, you may need to contact Microsoft support for further assistance.
