To help protect our customers and our system from fraud or abuse, we temporarily block Windows Live accounts when we detect spam-like activity. This activity could be in email, instant messages, or friend invitations.

If you receive a message saying that your account is temporarily blocked, you can unblock it by using your mobile phone number to verify your account.
