After day 3 I had enough of the waiting and I ended up contacting support. I was immediately contacted by a so called "minecraft gamer" which is a automated bot via the site known as "directly.com" which microsoft uses for customer support with pre-written messages. It told me to just wait cause this is an issue they know of and cant do much about as it currently stands. I accepted the answer and waited another day. Source: over 2 years ago
I considered trying to use one of the integration user licenses ($10 a month) or maybe something else? These emails are coming from the "Front" email service (front.com). Source: 5 months ago

I agree with others in this thread that app-based is probably the way to go - especially if you're just building for one person. Just be sure she enables push notifications with the same settings as SMS. Others have mentioned Frontline (FYI: this product is end-of-sale), Crisp, and SpokePhone. I would also add Front as a potential app to check out as they have similar functionality. Source: about 1 year ago
