Windows Azure Free Trial Sign-up BUG

Hi, I'm from the Philippines. Few minutes ago, I tried to sign up for free trial on Windows Azure using my SMART Money (a Debit Card in the Philippines but works with MasterCard). I can verify this card on PayPal and shop online using this card. I entered
all valid information (triple checked it!) but an error keeps popping up and I can't register at all while my card is charged with $1 for every try!
I'm really frustrated because I already tried it 2 times and my card is charged $2 already!!!
What will happen to my $2? Will I get any refund? Should I try again and be charged another $1? What should I do? Please help me. I'm really depressed right now. I lost $2 on nothing. I really want to try your VPS.
Hoping for a reply. Thanks in advance!

  • Cant sign up for azure free trial

    Hi Everyone,
    I've been trying yo sign up my Windows azure free account, but i cant since the payment options Always get the billing address information from my home country(Brazil) .. i did added my current billing address from the Microsoft account settings, but
    for some reason Windows azure insists to get the Brazilian information everytime I login and try to sign up...Ii think this is why the transation doesnt work since the credit card is from US and the address is from Brazil..
    It is a debit card but I know it Works with a debit card since I even bought office 365 recently and I also read it somewhere in the Microsoft forums...
    Can anybody help me out with this?
    I live in Boston MA and I am a student...

  • Azure Free trial with Neteller account

    Hi everyone.
    As I live in Tunisia, we don't have the right to own an international credit card, unless we pay a certain amount and have a certain status. As a simple user, I tried to create a free trial account but my credit card was not accepted. I heard about an alternative
    which is Neteller account. I can get an international credit card with deposing in it more than 10 euros.
    I need to know if my Neteller credit card would be accepted in the Azure free trial subscription ?
    Many thanks.

    Hi Khalil,
    Thanks for your posting!
    For this billing question, I suggest you can contact the Azure support team for more details . It is the best choice for you.
     Please contact support team by creating a support ticket at http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/contact/

    I hope we can get a quick respond so we can Start using the Trial of Azure and in the future use the Full version.
    With kind regards,

    Hi,

  • Charged for Windows Azure free trail

    What's going on I activated the free trail which from the sound of it is FREE, I got an email saying the trail has ended and my account will be closed okay that's all good but I just looked and was charged 86 dollars from Microsoft for Windows Azure. I really
    don't have that money right now and I really need someone to help me with being charged for a free service.

    Hi,
    The credit card is not billed and during the free trial you’ll have a spending limit set to $0, but from my experience, if your bill is over $200, then you'll be charged, about this billing issue, I would suggest you contact support, it
    is a best choice, Please contact support team by creating a support ticket at
    http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/support/contact/ Or if that doesn't work because you don't have an active subscription you will need to contact general customer support to have them create a

  • Azure free trial version

    Hello,
    I have a problem, I've got my free trial subscription on Microsoft Azure website. And somehow I canceled it.
    Now I couldn't get it back. Is there a way to get it back. I'm a student and so the free trial is the only way I could try Azure. Maybe there are some other ways to try Azure Services.

  • Heloo Azure Free Trial

    I wanna ask about that free
    plan,i make 3 cloud vps...for a month its totally free
    what is those gredits on my account?
    what about traffic?its all free?
    How many machines i can make?
    thanks

    Hi Sir,
    All of you used service is free  in your Free Trial. You could use Virtual Machines, Websites, Cloud Services, Mobile Services, Storage, SQL Database, Content Delivery Network, HDInsight, Media Services, and many more . Please see your offer message.
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0044p/
    Use the pricing calculator to estimate how much you could use with
    $200 of Azure credits. Here are a few usage scenarios that consume no more than
    $200 in a month:
    Run 2 small Virtual Machine instances for the entire month, or
    Store 800 GB of data in Storage, or
    Develop and test a web application using Cloud Services, with 3 web roles and 2 worker roles on medium instances, for 10 hours a day, 5 days a week, or
    Run a 100GB SQL Database for the entire month
    Also, I suggest you could refer to this FAQ:
    http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial-faq/

  • Azure free trial & SQl server

    I'm trying to setup a SQL (2008 or 2012) server within my free Azure trial.
    However, getting   'The operation is not supported for your subscription offer type'
    From what I see/have read - this should be possible
    There is no point in running a trial, if I cannot get all the required services.
    Can anyone confirm if SQL is or is not part of the free trial?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You should be able to create SQL Azure with your Azure trail.
    I would request you to open a Billing Support
    ticket, they will be able to check this for you.

    Hi,
    I had this same problem few days back. You will have to first sign out from all Microsoft sites & services completely. (or you can use  private/cognicitve browser window)
    event better to close the whole browser & tables if you are not sure. and start the browser.
    Then give it a try.
    If you get the similar error. click sign out on that page which will take you to sign in page.
    then try to login again.

  • Azure website is stopped; after free trial what happens next?

    Hi,
    My Azure website is stopped and I don't understand why. Restarting it doesn't work.
    I have a free trial subscription, which seems to expire today.  I would like to upgrade it but there is no information about the financial impact of upgrading.  I found this link about the different service tiers:
    https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/dn741336.aspx
    But there is no finance information.  They give you links into all kinds of documentation but the basic question of what to do after free trial subscription ends is nowhere.
    I was able to link to a Web page that details monthly charges (which unfortunately now I couldn't find) where a developer pays $29 monthly and standard subscription costs $300 monthly. I need a standard but I don't have that money to burn. So I'm thinking
    of the developer plan but I don't know what services go with it.  What happened to the pay-as-you-go? Where is the explanation for what services are included in that plan? Where
    are the plans? Why can't I find it in the Azure portal?
    Appreciate anyone with suggestions.
    Marilyn Gambone

    Hi,
    If your Free trial is going to expire and you would like to continue with the azure services, recommend you to go for pay as you go service. click Buy
    here for pay as you go service.
    This offer is billed at the standard
    Pay-As-You-Go rates and You will be notified at least 30 days in advance of any changes to the Pay-As-You-Go rates. New services may be added periodically to the Azure platform. Other details
    here.
    Estimate your expected monthly bill using the
    Pricing Calculator, and track your actual account usage and bill at any time using the
    billing portal. Setup
    automatic email billing alerts to be notified if your spend goes above an amount you configure.
    Also, I would like to clarify that if you want to scale the websites, the websites must be in the basic or standard mode. When we create basic or standard website in free trial account, the website consume the credits limit
    of azure free trial account. But if the free trail is expired, your service will be stopped and your data will be stored 3 month unless you reactivated it or became the paid users .
    Please find the purchase options below :
    Pay-As-You-Go Subscriptions
    Pay-As-You-Go subscriptions are our most popular and flexible payment plan. There are no minimum purchases or commitments and you can cancel anytime. You can pay for them by credit-card as well as by invoice.

    Microsoft Resellers
    You can work with the same resellers that you already purchase Microsoft software from using the
    Open Volume License Program. If you already have purchased Azure from a reseller and have an Open license key, you can activate your Azure subscription or add more credits to it
    here.

    Enterprise Agreements
    Large organizations often sign up for a Microsoft Enterprise Agreement (EA). By making an upfront usage commitment to Azure they earn several additional benefits—including flexible billing options and our very best prices.

  • UploadFromStreamAsync have a different behaviour in IIS express and Azure Free WebSites

    I am currently developing a MVC 5 web application. I am facing
    a problem when uploading a blob (azure blob storage) in async. My async controller ActionResult use this code: 
    [HttpPost]
    [ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
    public async Task<ActionResult> Index(file model)
    BlobStorageService blobStorageService = new BlobStorageService();
    CloudBlobContainer blobContainer = await blobStorageService.GetCloudBlobContainer();
    CloudBlockBlob blob = blobContainer.GetBlockBlobReference("video.mp4");
    blob.Properties.ContentType = model.Video.ContentType; await blob.UploadFromStreamAsync(model.Video.InputStream); return View();
    Everything works fine asynchronously on IIS Express but not when I deploy it on Windows Azure Free Websites, UploadFromStreamAsync stop working asynchronously.
    Any idea?

  • Free Trial / No Credit Card

    We do not have Credit Cards in Algeria, what to do to try the free Azure trial?

    Hi,
    No, you cannot use azure free trial without phone number and credit card.
    We use the phone number and credit card for identity verification, where you get $200 credit. We want to make sure that real people are using Azure. We
    do not bill anything on the credit card.
    If you exceed your $200 free credit, we will suspend your free trial account. You can optionally upgrade your trial to be a Pay-As-You-Go Azure subscription at this point if you want to continue using and paying
    for services. If not, don’t worry – you won’t be billed anything
