so i just tried signing in but it then told me my email has been blocked and wants to send an activation code to my mobile phone

1 problem I dont own a mobile phone

so i clicked skip this and then it wanst me to retype my password ive done this 7 times ...

is the same happening for anyone else ??

Do you have a PS3? If so, is that the email linked to your PSN account?

Same here dude but its been happening for at least two months for me now.

I have multiple hotmail addresses and none of them have this issue.

I just spent 15 minutes sending multiple emails and signed off just a few seconds ago. It's definitely not down or broken.

it must be the mobile phone activation thats making this happen :/

is it possible to get a free mobile phone from any the phone companies ? and by free i mean free im compeltly broke just spent over $190.00 for a suite for my sisters wedding and i dont have a job :/

tie google voice to your land line and you should be able to use your google voice number to recieve texts.

Google voice is free until at least the end of the year

That said, I don't think this'll work. You shouldn't be able to send an activation code to a mobile number UNLESS that mobile number was pre-registered with your account, otherwise anyone could just put in their own number and steal your account.

Sounds to me like your account got hacked and someone changed your password

I'd go https://account.live.com/password/reset

interestin i can now go my inbox ^.^ but still wants mobile phone activation :/

and if soem one hacked me why didnt they change my recovery questions ?

great i cant send messedges :/

Have you tried a different browser? I had a weird issue once where I was getting an error message and it worked with firefox instead of internet explorer. The cause of the problem was my anti-virus software was blocking something on internet explorer...

I've never heard of having to have an activation code sent to your mobile phone with hotmail...

Usually if you type your password wrong too many times or something along those lines you have do one of those picture things and type in the letters you see in the picture... what the hell are those things called...

dont know dont see em too often any more

btw never type my hotmail pasword wrong because if i did id have to have some one shoot me ... yes its that painstakingly easy but thats what makes it so hard to guess XD

What browser are you using? Like I said try a different browser...

IE because its the only one that doent crash every other page

Try hotmail on another browser anyways. It sounds like you need to scan for spyware malware and viruses... May I suggested advanced system care this program well fix a lot problems and it also scans for spyware and viruses.

Seeing it's working, there's no need to keep this open.
