Oracle cloud: sign up: after nearly 2 weeks...

After trying to get around my problems with my

• e-mail account (don't use gmx.de - gmail.com works)
• veryfying the authorization amount for my credit card (Thanks to my bank for supporting me!)

i was able to sign up at Oracle cloud services.
Thanks to Oracle support for the e-mails with tips and explanations what i have to do!

And after some seconds i got the following e-mail:

And the sign in worked:

With the next postings i will try to get some VMs etc. running inside Oracle Cloud...

500 blog posts (in 12 years)

Last week i did my 500th posting - not really "run like hell" but i think better than nothing.
Here some statistics:

• 33% of all postings are related to Oracle
• nearly on post per week
• 766000 pageviews

I think, i will continue for another 500. The exciting point is, wether i will find enough topics, which i am interested in...

Oracle Sign up: more problems

I thought, i was successful, but:

I received a mail with the following content:

"We have re-authorized a new, specific amount on the credit/debit card used during the sign up process."

and

"To verify the account you have created, please confirm the specific amount re-authorized."


My problem: there is not any "re-authorized amount" on my banking account. I do not know, what is "re-authorized"?
Is this: this amount is charged on my credit card (then i should see it).
Or is this process buggy and i was for some reason not charged?
Or is re-authorization something else?

Oracle Cloud: First login

After signing up to Oracle cloud i tried my first login:

https://cloud.oracle.com/en_US/sign-in

but i only got:

I think the problem is, that there i a manual review step on Oracle's side which i have not passed for now:

So let's wait for a day or two...

Oracle Cloud: Sign up failed... [3] & solved

Oracle Cloud: Sign up failed... [2]

After my failed registration to Oracle cloud, i got very fast an email from Oracle support with the following requirements:

So i tried once again with a firefox "private" window - but this failed again.
Next idea was to use a completely new installed browser: so i tried with a fresh google-chrome.
But the error still remained:

Let's hope Oracle support has another thing which will put me onto Oracle cloud.

UPDATE:

 

There is a tiny link "click here" just abouve the blue button. This link a have to use with the verification code provided by Oracle support.
But then the error is:

I checked this a VISA and MASTERCARD. Neither of them worked...

UPDATE 2: see here how the problem was solved.

Oracle Cloud: Sign up failed...

Yesterday i tried to sign up for oracle cloud:

 So let's start the registration process:

 

The mobile number verification is done with SMS and after entering the 7 digit pin, you are allowed to enter a password:

 

As payment information only credit cards are accepted:

• VISA
• Mastercard
• Amex

Eve though my credit card was accepted:

"Your credit card has been successfully validated. Please proceed to complete the Sign up."

I got the following error:

"We're unable to process your transaction. Please contact Oracle Customer Service."
The link "Oracle Customer Service" did not work, so i used the Chat Support. But inside the chat was no agent available and only "Send E-Mail" worked. Let's see what kind of response i will be given...

EDIT: Some further attempts...

EDIT 2: see here how the problem was solved.
