microsoft developer wont accept my phone

Hi @اسماء محمد ,

Thanks for reaching out! I understand you’re trying to set up a Microsoft Developer account, but the system isn’t accepting your phone number. This usually happens due to regional restrictions or unsupported phone carriers during identity verification.

These are possible causes:

• Region not supported for SMS/voice verification: Some countries or regions don’t support MFA via phone.
• Carrier limitations : Certain carriers block short codes or international verification messages.
• Number format issues: The phone number must include the correct country code and no extra characters.

These are the recommended steps:

• Verify regional support: Check if your country is listed as supported for MFA in the Microsoft Entra MFA availability guide.
• Try an alternative method: If SMS/voice isn’t available, use the Microsoft Authenticator app for verification. Here’s the setup guide: Set up the Microsoft Authenticator app.
• Ensure correct format: Use the full international format (e.g., +1 555 123 4567).
• Check carrier restrictions: Contact your mobile provider to confirm they allow short code messages.

Hope this helps you move forward! Let me know how it goes.
