How Do You Sign Up for Outlook without a Phone Number?

Microsoft requests your phone number to create your Outlook email address to verify your authenticity and protect your account from unauthorized access.

• Protects your account from unauthorized access.
• Helps in recovering your account if you forget your password.
• Adds security to verify your identity.
• Reduces the creation of fake or spam accounts.
• Confirms the authenticity of new accounts.

While Outlook requires phone number verification for enhanced security and account recovery, there are workarounds to bypass it. Instead of your personal phone number, you can use a virtual phone number to create an Outlook email account.

A virtual number functions like a regular phone number but isn’t tied to a specific device or physical location. When you enter this number while verifying your Outlook account, you receive the OTP online.

Calilio offers virtual phone numbers from over 100 countries, providing a secure and private way to sign up for Outlook.

1. Create a Calilio account with a suitable plan.
2. Go to Settings > My Numbers > Purchase Number.
3. Purchase a phone number from the available options.
4. Go to the Outlook sign-up page.
5. Use the virtual number during the registration process.
6. Check your Calilio account for the OTP sent by Outlook.
7. Enter the OTP on Outlook to complete the verification process.
