Unable to sign up for the Microsoft Developer Program

Question

I am writing to report an issue I am experiencing while trying to sign up for the Microsoft 365 Developer Program. I have followed the steps outlined on the Microsoft Learn website, but after entering my personal details and phone number, I do not receive the verification code message. Instead, I receive the following error message:

"We can't continue with the signup process right now due to an internal server error. Please try again later.

MS-CorrelationId: 00000000-ea3c-444e-a33c-9af16e48c928

Code: 50001"

I have:

1. Tried a different browser, like Edge,
2. Attempted incognito/private browsing mode
3. Tried different phone numbers, from different countries
4. Checked Microsoft Service Status
5. Waited and retried over a few weeks

I noticed two other users have reported the same problem on the Microsoft website but have not yet had a resolution:

I would greatly appreciate it if you could investigate this issue and provide me with a solution. I need to access the developer account to continue with my studies and use the online tools.

Thank you for your time and kind attention
