Untag (disassociate) phone number to the Microsoft Developer Program

Hi all, I am seeking help to un-tag my phone number used to sign-up for the Microsoft Developer Program.

The sign-up failed as the account does not have the correct eligibility.

I have deleted the Profile.

Then I tried to use another account to sign-up.

However, i got message of Your phone number is already associated with an existing developer account.

Thus, I need to use the same phone number for another account. 

Anyone knows what to do this with.

Highly appreciate the help!

    You want to untag your phone number from the Microsoft Developer Program. Sometimes, it feels like our information is out there too much. You’ll want to head over to your Microsoft account settings to disassociate your number. You can manage your security info there and remove that number from the Developer Program. Just follow the prompts, and it should be pretty straightforward.
