Developer Subscription: Unable to use phone issue

Geeb 121

I am attempting to subscribe to an Developer tenant (https://developer.microsoft.com/), but when I am prompted to enter my phone number to get an SMS text, it gives me this error:

"We're unable to send the code to that number. Please provide a valid cell phone number and try again. MS-CorrelationId: 24293d63-b93d-44c1-b2c1-83978132fb5d"

The phone number is valid and works just fine with other products and services that require SMS/MFA texts.

What is the issue?

I have observed that it is not working specifically with Indian phone numbers. I tried with an European number and it works. So this seems like a problem on Microsoft's side.

I have been struggling with the same error for more than 2 weeks, couldn't find a solution.

The error says:

I am also having this problem. Please advise.

EDIT: OH!!! I bet this is related to the recent Twilio issues...

Now Microsoft is saying this:

We can't continue with the signup process for the following reasons:
Your phone number did not pass security checks.
Your phone cannot receive an SMS code.
MS-CorrelationID: e3627d2e-e876-497d-8183-6331befc5a44
Code: 40321

Anyone know the fix?

Two weeks ago I was trying to subscribe from Brazil and I got the same SMS problem, so I supplied a Portugal Friend Phone Number and then I received the SMS.

I have the same problem. I've now tried three different numbers, all give the same error. They are all valid mobile carrier accounts. I'm also 100% sure one of the numbers I tried has never been associated with any Microsoft account before.

also not working with Australian numbers, have tried 2 numbers, 4 computers and 3 browsers, all security updates installed and cache cleared in every case definitely not an issue at user end

August 2023 - the problem still persists. No SMS received - keeps saying we have already sent you a code. What a waste of time.
