The billing support is a tree of blocking you from actually talking to a human and currently there is no 'buy support' buttons on any of our support plans to actually buy a support plan.

Anyone know the tree of choices to get us through to actually sending our chat to a human? I am trying to unblock this other question -> https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/5620782/lol-clicking-purchase-support-goes-to-another-tabl

thanks,

Dean

    Hi Dean,

    Please carefully follow my instructions below to create new billing support request without getting stuck in endless loop. Bill support is free, so no need to purchase support plan.

    I you have issues creating ticket please let me know in a comment.

    1. Navigate to this link to start the process:

    https://portal.azure.com/#create/Microsoft.Support

    2. Enter billing in the box and click Go

    3. Select Billing and click Next

    4. Select your subscription from the dropdown and click Next

    5. At this point there will be a delay of several seconds, and then various options will be displayed. Click Create a support request button at the top. DO NOT CLICK any of the other options.

    6. Fill out screen, Summary, Problem type, Problem subtype, then click Next button at bottom. You may need to select different Problem/subtype than shown below

    7. There will be another several second delay, and then some solutions will be displayed (this is similar to above). DO NOT CLICK any of the solutions, instead click on Return to support request button in upper left corner, similar to below

    azure support request Return to support request

    8. Now you are back at support case. Click Next button at bottom to continue to Additional details tab. Fill out information as required, one of the items you may need is your Subscription ID.

    You can open separate browser tab and navigate to your subscription in portal, the ID is there, click the copy button to the right of it, then paste it into the box on Additional details tab. Click Next to advance to Review + create tab, then click Create.

    You should receive an automated email within a few minutes and then be contacted by support within 1 business day.

    Please click Accept Answer and upvote if the above was helpful.

    Thanks.

    Thanks for your useful link. I tried but It never takes me to "3. Additional details" step or page. It gives me recommended solution to request refund. When I complete refund request form and submit for a refund request it tells me "Cannot request refund". See the following images. It is very frustrating that I cannot create ticket or talk to anyone. I tried more that 20 times already. Thanks for your help. Tariq

    To get through to billing support for Microsoft Azure, you can follow these steps:

    1. Open the Microsoft Azure support option at the Azure portal.
    2. Select the appropriate support category, which in this case would be billing-related questions.
    3. You will need to log in using your Microsoft Account to access the support options.
    4. If you are unable to find a direct way to contact a human, consider creating a support ticket through the Azure portal, which may eventually connect you to a support representative.

    If you have specific issues or need further assistance, you might also explore online forums or the service dashboard for additional help.
