I have the same problem, I opened 4 tickets at Microsoft none or them can be solved.
Troubleshooting Phone Number Association with Microsoft 365 Developer Account
Hello together,
When I try to set up an instant sandbox for Microsoft 365 as part of Microsoft 365 Dev Program (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/profile), I am getting the following error:
We can't continue with the signup process for the following reason:
Your phone number is already associated with an existing developer account.
For help with your Microsoft account, go to Microsoft account and verify your information.
MS-CorrelationId: xxxxxxxxxxxxx
Code: 40901
I think, I have created a profile with this phone number in the past, but I can't remember.
Is there a way about how to retrieve the existing profile and link it with my profile, or remove the profile so I can create a new instant sandbox?
Thank you in advance for your support.
Best regards
Knut
