This message appears: "Unable to validate phone number during azure Sign up".

    Hello @Johan Lindholm,

    The format expected for the phone number is very specific and not always intuitive. Here are some examples:

    • +44 1234567890 works (a space is needed after the +44, and the 0 needs to be dropped)
    • +1 5874567899 (this is a number used for Calgary in Canada, note the space)

    Still others have used a different workaround:

    • Select "Use a different number to verify my identity"
    • Leave your mobile number without the leading zero in the phone number field that isn't working.
    • Once "Use a different number to verify my identity" has been selected, you can then select a country code and enter the same mobile number without the leading 0 in the second phone number field.
    • Click "Verify" "Text Me"
    • Enter the text you receive, and the form appears to validate correctly even with the original number in the original broken field.
