Things you Should Know when using a phone to Verify your Account

  • You should understand that the message service is not always available in all countries. Also, your network provider may be  prohibiting  you from receiving  such  messages
  • You should understand that the messages that have been sent could be subject to network delays. You may have to wait for some time before the message comes in. However, if it takes more than 15 minutes, you should ask the message to be resend. If you do so, another verification code will be send to your phone.
  • You need to know, however, that there is specific number of times which you can ask for the verification codes. If you  exceed the  quota that is  set for those  who  got their hotmail  account blocked, you  will have no  choice, but to wait  until the  following day. You will be forced to wait for at least 24 hours before you are allowed to ask for another code.

Regardless of the reason that got your hotmail account blocked, you should not worry since there is always a way out. If you use the above procedures, you can be at a position to regain control of your account. If you think you cannot, emailing the   Hotmail support center should do the trick!
