    Same for me. The error was resolved after I opened a ticket.

    In the end I opened an MS Support ticket and they have solved it for me. They cleared my account and now I have upgraded successfully. They explained that:

    Upon reviewing your account with deleted free services subscription ID: [redacted] on the [date] after its start date of [date]. Your account has been disabled since then and tagged inactive.

    Regarding error in sending the code to your phone when you try to create an Azure subscription, I have engaged our account review team on your behalf. Your account was reviewed and cleared. Please proceed to retry creating the subscription one more time on your Azure portal.
