Getting a Second Oracle Cloud Free Trial Account

Once your first free Oracle Cloud Account has expired, you might want to get another one to have a better hands-on Oracle Cloud and its various services such as numerous Platform services, Classic Data Management Services, Exadata Services, etc. Oracle doesn’t allow you to create another account if you use the same Email, Phone Number, or Debit/Credit Card. So, in order to create a second or a new account, you will have to use a new set of Email ID, Phone Numbers, Addresses, and Debit/Credit Card. You may use your spouse’s, relative’s, or your friend’s details.

Note: You should use a new address but in case if you’re requesting after 60 days you can use the same address.

Once you have a new set of all of these details, you can create a new free Oracle Cloud Account just as you did the first time. You can then Sign-in into your new account and use the Cloud services again.
