Lousy service

Totally impossible to speak to a person. I have a very old Microsoft account that I wanted to change my contact phone number on.

Ive also forgotten my password and even though Iknew the answers to my security questions I was denied access because I had too many attempts with an incorrect password.

No one to talk to!

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Microsoft has stopped all human support, and there is no one to talk to at any and all phone numbers. I have an unresolved invoice issue with multiple accounts, and for two days I have been unable to contact anyone who can figure this out. Bad decision to go to AI support.

Locked out my Microsoft acct and did try all verification motheds by MS.

Updated by user Sep 24, 2025

I know Microsoft announced no more customer service (in-person), effective in October. However, it's still in September.

My problem leads to "I can't do anything with Microsoft 365, and I have lots of responsibilities to do by the due date for bookkeeping." I don't think they care about small business owners or individuals with Windows; many small businesses or individual users have the systems at Microsoft. I am sure it won't be only my problems. Maybe some people had locked out the system just like me.

My problem is I can't reset my passwords because I had changed so many times because of different clients and got confused about passwords. I got in touch with a private IT person; their instructions were the same as mine.

Original review Sep 22, 2025
I tried to enter the password when I visited Outlook and made a mistake by entering incorrect passwords. The first time, I typed all capitalized letters, and the second time, I entered incorrect ones again, and I got confused about the correct password.

Since I set up two verifications on my accounts, I first requested that you send a text and then an email to the backup email address. However, neither method worked. So, I waited to log in until the next day. Even after waiting 24 hours and trying the same methods, it still didn't work to set a new password.

Now, I couldn't access my Microsoft 365 account. I repeatedly used this method for 5 days, but I still can't reset my password. Please help me.

Thanks for your assistance. Suzuko L

Cannot access Onedrive after purchase of new phone and forced e mail change

I cannot access my photos from my previous phones after buying a new phone and transferring the data from the old phone. I have spent many, many hours trying to resolve this.

I believe the problem is that after having transferred most of the information I was forced to change my main email address because Virgin media (who I am no longer affiliated with) insisted I could no longer use it. As my original Virgin media address now no longer exists and as I now have a new email address this has caused problems with what originated as Samsung Cloud and later Onedrive. I cannot remember the old passwords or even which email address was used because each time I have bought a new phone an extra email.address has been automatically created. As far as I understand it the only way to retrieve my photos would be to create a new email address again.

As I have just acquired a new email address and have informed all my relevant contacts I am loath to go through all that again. I am very upset about my 'lost' photos.

Preferred solution: Access to all my photos from what was Samsung Cloud.

User's recommendation: There are none. The fact is updating any digital device has become so complicated that it is beyond the capability of non digital experts. I have spoken to many people about similar issues to mine and we all agree that it is no longer a pleasant experience acquiring a new phone and it is better to keep the old one. e

Locked out of account

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Locked out of account can't get codes now have lost Outlook. I need to speak to a person PLEASE.

I have now opened a new account with Outlook for the same email but all that does is send warnings to my recipients.

This is not an issue that can be solved by your chat line.

They just send me back to pages that tell me there is nothing wrong or that I'm locked out. Very frustrating.

Today, Microsoft 365 will NOT work. It is October 29, 2025.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I tried to obtain my email using Microsoft 365 today, 10/29/2025, and it did not work. I tried several times with the help of library computer techs here in Longmont, Colorado, but they could not help me either.

I called Microsoft, they gave me a website, which also did NOT work. That is what Happened.
