Hello himanshu
Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A regarding your problem with the developer account. Based on Official document if your account has been expired or deleted you need to wait 60 days to use the phone number again. Alternatively, you can use a different email and phone number to sign-up for a new one. User's image If you're unable to access your account due to other reason, please let me know more details, I'm here to help.

Hello himanshu

Thank you for the update.

The phone number cannot be removed unless the developer profile is deleted. Could you please confirm whether you have already tried deleting the old developer profile?

If not, you can try visiting Dashboard - Microsoft 365 Dev Center using the account that was originally linked to your phone number. If you still have access, choose Delete Profile to remove the old Developer account. This may help release the phone number so you can use it again for a new registration. Please note that it can take some time, usually up to 60 days, before the number becomes available for reuse.

If you no longer have access to the old profile, or if the steps above do not work, I recommend contacting Microsoft Developer Support for further assistance through the following link: Services Hub. Please note that this portal (Services Hub) is a paid ticket and access is subject to certain conditions, which you can review here: Services Hub sign in FAQs | Microsoft Learn

If you need to create a new developer account right away, you might consider using a different phone number, such as a work mobile or secondary line, to complete the registration process immediately.
