I am trying to set up forwarding for a new Outlook.com email address. It wants me to verify the account first, so I go through that, but turns out that it wants to send me a text message to my phone.

I DO NOT HAVE TEXT MESSAGING. AT ALL. PERIOD.

How can I verify my new email address without text messaging? I do not see another method available to me, and it is quite urgent.  (This email is part of a domain of mine I just moved, and certain emails MUST be forwarded to their proper places.)

How can I verify my new email address with a method OTHER THAN phone texting so that I can set up forwarding on it?

Please advise.
