Hi, @John Barrett

May I ask what issue you’re contacting support about?

Are you using a personal Microsoft account (like Outlook/Hotmail), or is this for Microsoft 365 Business?

Phone support is usually available for Microsoft 365 Business accounts. For personal Microsoft accounts, support is typically handled through live chat online or via the Get Help app rather than a direct hotline number.

Thanks!

For Microsoft personal account issues, the supported path to reach a live agent is through Get Help or Contact Support.

Go to Get Help on the web or open Get Help in Windows.
Enter a short description of the account issue.
Select Get Help.
If the issue is not resolved, select Contact Support.
Choose the affected product or service.
Confirm the category so the request is routed correctly.
Select an available contact method:
- Chat with a support agent in your web browser
- Provide your phone number and a support agent will call you

Availability of contact options depends on hours of operation, product, scenario, and subscription.

If the issue is specifically sign-in related, start with the sign-in helper first. For Microsoft accounts, support agents are not allowed to send password reset links or access and change account details.
