Open Microsoft
Go to account creation, or account.microsoft.com → Security → Advanced security options.
Enter the +506 number
Select Costa Rica (+506) in Microsoft's country picker, then paste the digits your dashboard shows after +506 into Microsoft.

Microsoft sends a short numeric security code by SMS or voice call. SMS codes appear in your PhoneBorn dashboard next to the +506 number; type the code into Microsoft to finish.
Tips for Costa Rica numbers
- After +506, Costa Rica mobile numbers begin with 6, 7, 8 — a quick check that you pasted the whole number.
- Only need one code and the country doesn't matter? Barbados costs $0.15 for Microsoft, against $0.22 here.
- Add the number as a recovery method, not just for sign-up.
Why use a Costa Rica number for Microsoft?
Day-to-day life in Costa Rica runs on WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram, yet Microsoft remains the app for Outlook, Teams or Azure accounts in a local region. A +506 number keeps that account tied to the country without using your personal SIM.
Nearshore tech teams: Multinationals with service centres around San José and Heredia hire locally, and teams coordinate on Costa Rican numbers.
Microsoft sends recovery and lock-out codes to the phone on file.
