...if trying to set up a new Outlook account, if you do that, you will not be able to set up the account. It'll be rejected. Why? Because Microsoft will send a code to that phone number, and whoever answers the call/text has to be able to input that code to the new outlook account.
I'll repeat this for y'all in the back row:
IF you are opening a new Microsoft/Outlook Account, you MUST put in a valid phone number.
IF you already have a Microsoft/Outlook account, then at some point in your life, you had already put a valid phone number in.
If you are NOT trying to open a Microsoft/Outlook account, they don't need your number for anything at all.
Outlook is a Microsoft product. If you create a new Outlook mail account, you are using, or opening, a Microsoft account to do so.
