Jesus-efffing-Christ so adding on top of their pathetic interface to change address and/or add a phone to get a SALES call, I ended up using the live chat, who requested to call me on the phone, who called me to just act as gatekeeper of "why do you need a paid account..." before passing me over to a cloud engineer (not sure why I need that just to change from free to paid) like...da...fuck, I'm putting money on your pocket, does it matter why? It's none of your business, just make it a paid account.
What a waste of my time.
EDIT: To make matters worse, the nosy sales agent, just sends me back to the live-chat to talk with the cloud engineer but instead of passing me with them, he just closes the chat. I've been here 20-minutes you idiot. Now I need to start from scratch again.
@maikelthedev Yes, believe me, I have been there in the past with OCI. I was ready and willing to give them 5 figures a year for a couple of specific resources, but they were "constrained", and not just by region. Apparently, I still needed "approval" to use them. A massively sales-centered organization that makes it hard to give them money for services. It's much less per year now. 🙄
@maikelthedev credit card was my problem. Signing up for a free thing, but their systems wouldn’t validate my credit card details, unlike absolutely every other system on the planet.
