Key Moments - 3 Insights
Why do I need to provide payment details before I can use AWS?
AWS requires payment info to verify identity and prevent fraud, even if you only use free-tier services. See step 5 in execution_table where payment info is entered before phone verification.
What happens if I enter the wrong phone verification code?
The system will not verify your phone, blocking progress to the next step. In execution_table step 6, phone verification must be successful to continue.
Can I skip choosing a support plan?
No, you must select a support plan to complete registration. The basic plan is free and sufficient for most beginners, as shown in step 7.
