Hi @Ryan , sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. are you facing this error while trying to create a new Azure account? When did you start facing this issue?

You can try these troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue:

• You can use any phone number for verification as long as it meets the requirements. The phone number that you enter for verification isn't stored as a contact number for the account.
  • A Voice-over-IP (VoiP) phone number can't be used for the phone verification process.
  • Check that your phone can receive calls or SMS messages from a United States-based telephone number.
• Double-check the phone number that you enter, including the country code that you select in the drop-down menu.
• If your phone doesn't receive text messages (SMS), try the Call me option.
• Verify that there are no typos in the phone number.
• Check for any blockages: Verify that your phone number is not blocked by your service provider or blocked by any third-party services.
• If the previous steps do not resolve your issue, please try using a different phone number to validate your Azure account.

Hope that helps.
