Microsoft mobile verification service not upto the mark.

Question

Well I am a user of Windows phone and have been using a live Id which was used when I bought the mobile. Now I am in a fix because microsoft wishes me to verify my account and the recovery through email is not possible as email entered has a tragic blunder
of having extension as .vom instead of com. I have tried recovery via phone that does not work. Now as a consequence I need to reset my phone.
I have no means to save  my contacts & apps.All said and done I try to make a new Outlook ID putting information very carefully as next steps a verification needs to be made via phone and that does not work at all.
Now I wish to ask is there any means by which I can save my contacts on phone & why do I have to be the sufferer because of a failed Microsoft Mobile verification system.
Please advise proper corrective actions.

Hi,
By default, the phone will back up all your contacts, apps, messages, and most settings into the Cloud. If you loose access to your MS account for some reason, then try some Apps which allow you to back up your contacts manually:

Also, this is the forum to discuss questions and feedback for Microsoft Outlook client based on Windows, better to post your question to the forum for Windows Phone:

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.
