For a Canadian phone number, try entering it without the +1 in the phone-number field if the registration form already has Canada (+1) selected.

For example:

• Country: Canada (+1)
• Area code: 647
• Phone number: 1234567

If the form has only one phone-number box, try:

647 xxx xxxx

rather than +1 (647) xxx-xxxx.

If that still doesn't work, the issue may be with the Microsoft certification registration portal rather than the number format. Also make sure the country/region in your Microsoft account and certification profile is set to Canada.

I found SMSCove while searching for alternatives to other temporary SMS platforms. The website has both free and additional options depending on what you need. If you're just looking for a simple verification code, the free numbers are worth trying first.

Question

I had a similar issue when trying to register for the AZ-900 certification. I tried multiple combinations—country code, city, mobile number—but nothing worked. I was almost out of options, but then I found a solution.

I used a service that provides temporary numbers. It allows you to https://online-sms.org/ for registration purposes. Try this approach: select the country you need (e.g., the UK), use a temporary number, and you should get the code. Another advantage of this method is that you avoid unnecessary spam on your real number. Hope this helps!

Hi Balaji2220 

It's important to follow the correct format for providing your phone number. Based on the example you provided, here's the correct combination for registering with a Canadian number:

Country code: +1 (Canada)
Area code: 647 (Ontario)
Mobile number: xxx-xxxx (replace xxx-xxxx with your actual mobile number). So, the complete phone number would be: +1 (647)-xxx-xxxx

Ensure that you enter your actual mobile number in place of "xxx-xxxx."

If you're still facing issues, you might want to double-check that all the information you're entering is accurate. Additionally, make sure there are no spaces or special characters in the phone number field.

As an alternative, you can also consider using a temporary phone number for the registration process. You can find temporary phone numbers for the USA at this website: https://tempsmss.com/country/canada-phone-number/

I hope this helps, and good luck with your AZ-900 certification registration!

Best,
