Aaand, yeah, really?

This is exactly why I REALLY dislike having a mobile number for security purposes.
To start with, I have no mobile phone, I can't afford it, but anything Microsoft is pestering me for one. (so is google for that matter), I keep having to skip it, as I don't have one.
Now, while I don't use my Hotmail as much, it still had importance. Well... I decided to check it yesterday, only to get a message that they suspect that my caaount was being used, so it asks me to either verify my mobile # (which I don't have), or fill out a form to be verified.
Now... on this form had the security question that I got correct, and my date of birth, but everything else was obscure. Like, it's asking me what the last 5 emails I received, or... what folders you created. How the heck would I know that? I don't keep a mental note of everything I do in there. In either case, I send the form with the info I could remember, only to get my account blocked for insufficient info.
Thanks MS, I'm through with Hotmail(Outlook).
Better take note on what you do in your MS accounts, they'll block you if you can't remember the details no-one pays attention to.

well that sucks. go yahoo, they don't pester ball you with "REGISTER YOUR MOBILE NUMBER FOR ADDED SECURITY!" i HAVE a mobile, and see NO REASON to give it for another security layer. therefore, i say skip/nothx when i see that, since they have no need to know the PRIVATE number. **** them, and go to an e-mail NOT linked to a company that makes OSs, like yahoo.
