Question

I am unable to add any billing address to my Microsoft account.

JannikRe JannikRe 0

I am unable to add any billing address to my Microsoft account. Every attempt results in the error: “Sorry, we’re unable to process the request at this moment. Try again later.” I have tried multiple browsers, devices and networks. I am located in Germany and need the billing address for Teams/Skype calling services. Please check whether there is an issue with my billing profile.

Hi, I'm John! I will help you with this.

Are you using a personal Microsoft account (like Outlook/Hotmail), or is this for Microsoft 365 Business?

Do you currently have an active Microsoft 365 subscription linked to this billing account?

thanks a lot, though i missed it: It is an old former Skype account which now is one of Microsoft. I only use it for teams as Skype is now part of teams, though without a billing address (which I can not add) I can not use Skype within teams to call a number with my credit. thanks for help!

Thank you for the clarification.

I checked and found that other users have recently reported the same issue when trying to update the billing address for Skype Credit and Teams calling services, even after trying different browsers and devices. This suggests the problem may be related to the billing profile on Microsoft's side rather than your local setup.

Just to confirm, is your Microsoft account country/region currently set to Germany as well?

Also, when you go to your Payment Options page and try to add or edit a payment method, do you receive the same error there, or only when updating the billing address for Skype/Teams calling?

If the error occurs everywhere billing information is edited, the account's billing profile may need to be reviewed by Microsoft Support directly.

The "unable to process the request" loop is a documented server-side issue that usually occurs when a billing profile is internally flagged, corrupted, or missing a critical regional configuration. Since you have already ruled out browser, device, and network issues, you can attempt one final self-service fix before escalating to Microsoft's specialized billing agents.

I suggest contacting the Microsoft Live Billing Support

Open the Microsoft Contact Support Portal.
Sign in with the exact Microsoft account you are trying to configure.
In the search bar, type Billing and payment updates and press Enter.
Scroll to the bottom and click the blue Contact Support button.
Under Products and Services, select Microsoft 365 and Office.
Under Category, select Billing and Payments update.
Click Confirm, then select Chat to initiate a secure, live session.

Hope this helps
