Cannot verify my phone number Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub

Question

Hello,

I am applying for Microsoft for Startups Founders Hub via the official website: 🔗 https://foundershub.startups.microsoft.com/apply

However, I am unable to verify my phone number because I am not receiving the SMS verification code.

Issue Details:

• My phone number is correct (France number +33).
• I have attempted multiple times to resend the code.
• I have checked my SMS inbox and spam folders—no messages have arrived.
• My network is working fine, and I receive SMS from other services without issues. Troubleshooting Steps Tried:
• Double-checked my phone number.
• Attempted to request a new code multiple times.
• Tried using different browsers and devices.
• Ensured that my phone is capable of receiving SMS.

Is there an ongoing issue with SMS verification for Microsoft for Startups? Is there an alternative way to verify my phone number, such as email or support intervention?

Your guidance would be highly appreciated.

Thank you!
