Unable to Validate Phone Number During Azure Signup

Question

I am encountering an issue during the Azure signup process. When attempting to validate my phone number, I receive the following error message:

We’re unable to validate your phone number. Phone validation is required to confirm your identity and complete signup.

I have already tried the following steps without success:

Verified that the SMS verification code was entered correctly and not expired.

Ensured my phone number is formatted correctly, including the country code.

Tried with a different phone number.

Cleared browser cache and cookies and retried the signup process.

Checked the Azure status page for any ongoing issues.

Despite these efforts, I am still unable to complete the signup. I would appreciate any guidance on resolving this issue, as I am eager to start using Azure for learning and exploring its services.

Rather to the registration through your cellphone, instead of laptop.

Answer 3

I had the same issue. Found out it kept failing because I was using my VPN. Disabled the VPN and everything worked fine.

"We’re unable to validate your phone number."

I had the same problem, but when I signed in and verified using my GitHub account, it was resolved.

You can try registering with your mobile phone as well. It can send the verification code to your mobile (I used Chrome on my phone)
