@Andrew Tsybulia Similar issue I handled it, couple of days back, where you need to contact our support via one of the contacts mentioned here (you can pick Ukraine based contact) https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/global-customer-service-phone-numbers-c0389ade-5640-e588-8b0e-28de8afeb3f2

This issue with phone number validation during Azure Subscription Sign up can be resolved by creating a support ticket and working with our Azure subscription team.

Create a support ticket and do share it for reference, so that I can track it internally, get this sorted for you.

Let me know if you have any further questions, feel free to post back.

    I tried every solution and it did not work. I tried from laptop and from mobile with mobile data and incognito mode, even support were not able to help be.

    What worked for me is to signing from my andoid tablet via text me button, then it worked on desktop too

    I encountered this issue today while trying to create a Free Trial subscription.

    I reached out to Sales via the live chat on the sign-up page, and the consultant provided me with the following steps:

    1. I shared my full name, email address, phone number, city, and postal code.
    2. I received a personalized sign-up link via email.
    3. I accessed the link on my mobile device, using a new Incognito browser window and mobile data (instead of Wi-Fi).
    4. On the phone verification page, I selected “Use a different number to verify my identity,” and entered the same phone number, but without the leading zero after choosing the country code.
    5. I successfully received the verification code via text.

    You can try registering from your phone in a private browser tab and using mobile data, if that does not work I recommend reaching out to their live support, assistance was pretty quick.

    As an alternate option try the same from the smartphone browser.

    It worked for me(region India).

    Hope this helps!
