Hi @Jayadeep Reddy

Please note that our forum is a public platform, and we will modify your question to hide your personal information in the description. Kindly ensure that you hide any personal or organizational information the next time you post an error or other details to protect personal data.  

Based on what I have gathered, several members in the community are experiencing the same situation. You may find similar discussions in this forum topic:  Phone verification failed — now locked out of Microsoft 365 Developer Program - Microsoft Q&A 

In many cases, the system simply needs some time to review and confirm the phone number and the information used during the registration process for the Microsoft Developer Program. Allowing the verification to complete on its own often resolves the situation. 

If it applies to you, you may also try registering with a different phone number from another country. Some users shared that this approach helped them move forward. 

It is also worthwhile to check whether you fall into one of the groups that already qualify for access to the Microsoft Developer Program, such as: 

• Visual Studio Professional or Enterprise subscribers (automatic qualification) 
• Companies enrolled in the ISV Success Program or eligible tiers of the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program 
• Organizations with Premier or Unified Support, typically requested via their Microsoft account team

If you would like to explore another option, you might try reaching out to the Microsoft Support Team through this link: https://serviceshub.microsoft.com/supportforbusiness/onboarding?origin=/supportforbusiness/manage. Another option you could consider is checking the contact list in Services Hub - Support contacts 

Please note that access to the Services Hub depends on your organization’s support agreement and may require a paid support plan. You can review the requirements and sign-in conditions in the Services Hub sign-in FAQs before submitting a request.

I also want to share that, as a moderator, my role is to provide structured guidance, troubleshooting steps, and links to official Microsoft documentation. I am not able to view or adjust anything within the backend systems, as the Developer Program registration process operates through an automated system.

I hope this information helps for now.
