Unable to sign up for free trial of Windows Azure

Question

I'm unable to sign up for a free trial of Azure, due to Mobile verification. When I enter my phone number and click "Send text message", it almost immediately says "We were unable to verify your account.". I tried the call option and using a different number, but I always get the same message.

How can I sign up for a free trial of Azure?

Answer 1

Hi,

Please connect to Azure support, it's free, and it's the best choice for you.

Please contact support team by creating a support ticket at http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/contact/

Or if that doesn't work because you don't have an active subscription you will need to contact general customer support to have them create a support ticket for you http://support.microsoft.com/gp/customer-service-phone-numbers?wa=wsignin1.0

Best Regards

I am also facing the same issue. I could not proceed further with the Free Trial registration even though payment service billed me 1$ !! :-(  What is the solution ?

Answer 3

Hi,

I had the same problem and resolved this by using another mobile phone number. If you have access to another mobile phone then I would try this. Also I left out the leading zero from my mobile number (though I am based in the UK so this may differ depending on your location).
