Step 9: Verify your phone number by entering a number where you can be reached in the next few minutes.

Step 10: An automated system will contact you shortly.

Step 11: Enter the PIN you receive and choose "Continue."

Step 12: On the Select a Support Plan page, choose one of the available support plans. For details on available plans and their benefits, see Compare AWS Support Plans.

Step 13: After selecting a support plan, a confirmation page will indicate that your account is being activated. Activation usually takes a few minutes but may take up to 24 hours.

Step 14: You can sign in to your AWS account during the activation period. The AWS home page might display a "Complete Sign Up" button even if you've completed all the steps.

Step 15: Once your account is fully activated, you will receive a confirmation email. Check your inbox and spam folder for this email. After receiving it, you will have full access to all AWS services.
