Security check: Sorry, we need additional information to verify your identity. #6

I've tried following the steps in https://aka.ms/upgrade-to-fabric to get trial access for the hackathon. I've already tried several phone numbers with my country code, however the prompt is still the same "Sorry, we need additional information to verify your identity". Is the trial steps only available to you US-based participants?

Fabric trials are not geo-restricted to my knowledge, what country code is giving you this issue?

aldrinlambon commented 9 months ago

+63 Philippines is the country code I'm using. Is there another work around to get trial access?

toolboc commented 9 months ago

@aldrinlambon, unfortunately this appears to a longstanding issue related to Office E5 trial activation (required in order to proceed to Microsoft Fabric Trial activation) that goes back at least a couple years with no known workaround (aside using a valid number from one of the avaialble countries in the Office E5 trial activation steps). More details here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/setup-e5-subscription-ms-dev-program-country-not/bea465c8-4c21-4eef-8f59-9ca6b0884843

I will try to see if I can find additional information internally, but this very well may be a blocker.

Oh that's unfortunate. I already have necessary resources for my submission and the only blocker is having the E5 trial access for the development.

@toolboc Hope you can find some sort of workaround internally. I was really looking forward in participating in this hackathon..

@aldrinlambon, let’s take this conversation over to LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/pjdecarlo), I think I have a solution for you :)
