NO Possibility to activate the Azure subscription using CONGO phone Number

Question

Hello,

I would like to have possibility to activate the Azure subscription using my congo phone number.
Currently I'm a student from LAVAL University but leaarning remotly from Congo. In order to do my studies, I wantto active the azure subscription which ULAVAL has already given us access, but unfortunatly the CONGO is not part of the select country which the Azure subscription can be activated. Please could you add CONGO as part of that list in order to give the me the possibily to activate my subscription.

Thanks

Hi Anaclet,

Thanks for reaching out! Azure is commercially available in the following 60+ regions worldwide, and as you noticed the Congo is not one of them currently.

Learn more here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/global-infrastructure/regions/

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/global-infrastructure/locations/

We are adding more countries as quickly as we can, and rest assured that this is a top priority for us.

In meantime, I have a workaround for you. If you have any friends or family who can enroll from a supported region, your friend or family member can add you as an Owner or User so that you can use Azure from that account. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/global-infrastructure/locations

Once your friend or family member enrolls in Azure, they can follow the instructions here to add you as an Owner: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/add-change-subscription-administrator#to-assign-a-user-as-an-administrator

Hope this helps!
