cannot get past sign up for pay as go and cannot create resource

Question

My goal is to use speech-to-text services and obtain a private API key for my app.

(I have tried all of this with multiple email addresses on different laptops)

I signup for Azure and I can auth in and see the main screen where I can access the service for speech to text. However it is asking me to enter a resource and if I try to add a new resource nothing happens. I do not see subscription options in the drop-down and everything on this screen appears to be in a never ending loading state.

Is the inability to create a resource above because I need to sign up for a subscription? I noticed a banner Start with an Azure free trial on the home screen so I tried that. I choose either "start with a free plan" or "pay as you go" and It lands me on a signup form. I fill out the first section under profile. I enter all the fields, and I click on all legal links, but no matter what I do the 'next' button does not allow me to proceed. I don't see any specific validation errors other than the mouse over on the 'next' button shows a disabled icon.

So I am basically stuck.

I did see this appear randomly at one point.

Again, I've tried with an old account and a completely new account with a new email and the behavior has been identical. I've tried this on multiple machines and with Chrome and Safari.
