Online it says I get 50 GB storage with Microsoft Basic 365. I had Microsoft 365 Personal but let it expire in lieu Microsoft 365 Basic. Now it says my account is expired. How do I contact Microsoft to confirm mu payment to Micosoft 365 Basic is current and up to date and not expired?

    Yes, Microsoft 365 Business Basic provides 50 GB of mailbox storage. If you are experiencing issues with your Hotmail storage being full, it may be due to the fact that your account is not currently active or there may be other factors affecting your storage capacity.

    To confirm your payment status and ensure that your Microsoft 365 Business Basic subscription is current and not expired, you can contact Microsoft support. Here are some ways to reach out for assistance:
