You might find a weird issue when trying to subscribe on a Microsoft Developer program websites (such as Windows, Insider, Azure, Dynamics 365, Visual Studio). When subscribing, as usual, a pop up “Add phone number for security” appears. The prompt says “Please enter a valid phone number that supports SMS. We’ll text you a code that you can use to verify your identity” which is quite normal. But in spite of choosing a correct country code and typing your phone number when you click on Send Code an error is shown in return. The error is – “We’re unable to send the code to that number. Please provide a valid cell phone number and try again. MS-CorrelationId: e8d692fe-44f3-4824-970d-3ba8d2358616”. We are trying to provide fixes for MS-CorrelationId Error.
