What else do I need to know?
Do I pay anything for the Azure free account?
No. Starting is free, plus you get a $200 credit to spend in the first 30 days. You won’t be charged—even if you start using services—until you choose to upgrade.
What happens after I use my $200 credit or 30 days is over?
You can upgrade to a pay-as-you-go subscription to get continued access to free products—some for the first 12 months, and others that are always free.
What do I need to sign up?
A phone number, a credit or debit card, and a Microsoft Account username. Credit card information is used for identity verification. You won’t be charged until you upgrade.
What happens at the end of 12 months?
For 12 months after you upgrade, certain amounts of popular products are free. After 12 months, you’ll be billed at the pay-as-you-go rates.
Who can I talk to if I have questions?
