Pre-activation Requirements
Account Preparation
Prepare a valid email address
Prepare a phone number (for verification)
Prepare an ID or Passport (may be required for verification)
Network Environment
Use a US Residential IP (Critical Factor)
Ensure the IP is clean and the geolocation shows as the United States
MPChat Funds Preparation
Prepare $10–30 equivalent in USDT (AWS uses usage-based billing; requires pre-authorization)
Recommended to prepare $20–50 as initial funds
Detailed Steps
Phase 1: MPChat Virtual Card Preparation
USDT Deposit
Path: MPChat App → Wallet → Deposit - Copy USDT deposit address - Transfer sufficient USDT (Recommended $50+) - Wait for network confirmation
Apply for a US MPCard
Path: MPChat App → MPCard → Apply for New Card - Issuing Country: Must select "United States" - Card Type: Virtual Card (Instant generation) - Securely record Card Number, Expiry Date, and CVV code
Funds Transfer
Path: MPChat App → Wallet → Transfer - From: MP Wallet (USDT) - To: MPCard (USD) - Amount: $20–30 (For pre-authorization and initial usage)
Phase 2: AWS Account Registration
Visit Official Site to Register
Access aws.amazon.com using a US IP
Click "Create an AWS Account"
Enter email address and account name
Contact Information Verification
Fill in personal contact information
Use a US address and phone number
Complete SMS code verification
Payment Information Verification
Enter the payment information page
Select "Credit Card" as the payment method
Prepare for a $1.00 pre-authorization verification
Phase 3: Payment Information Entry
MPCard Information Entry
Information Source: MPChat App → MPCard → Card Details - Credit Card Number: 16-digit virtual card number - Expiration Date: Expiry date (MM/YY) - CVV: 3-digit security code - Cardholder's Name: Pinyin is recommended
Billing Address Entry (Critical Step)
Country: United States
Use a professional US address generator
Example Format:
Address Line 1: 1234 Cloud Avenue City: Seattle State: WA ZIP Code: 98101 Phone: Generate a US phone number
Identity Verification
May need to provide proof of identity
Answer the verification call
Wait for account review (usually within 24 hours)
Payment Verification & Account Activation
Pre-authorization Verification
AWS will perform a $1 pre-authorization hold (refunded immediately)
Verification of card validity and address matching
Confirm payment method availability
Account Activation
Account activated once payment verification passes
Start using AWS services
Access the AWS Management Console
Free Tier Usage
New accounts include a 12-month Free Tier
Includes free usage limits for specific services
Usage exceeding limits is billed based on consumption
Recommended AWS Lite Services
Service Type | Free Tier Limit | Lite Usage Monthly Cost |
EC2 | 750 hours/month t2.micro | $5–15/month |
S3 | 5GB Standard Storage | $1–5/month |
Lambda | 1 million requests/month | $1–10/month |
RDS | 750 hours/month db.t2.micro | $10–20/month |
Cost Control Strategies
Budget Setup
Set budget alerts in the AWS Console
Monitor usage across all services
Set monthly spending caps
Service Selection
Prioritize services included in the Free Tier
Use the Cost Explorer calculator to estimate costs
Choose On-Demand instances to avoid long-term commitments
Security Best Practices
IAM Setup
Create a separate IAM user; do not use the Root account
Set a strong password policy
Enable Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Permission Management
Follow the principle of least privilege
Regularly review and update permissions
Use policy conditions to restrict access
Troubleshooting Guide
Payment Verification Failure
Common Causes: Address info mismatch; card risk limits; suspicious IP address
Solutions: Use a real and valid US address; ensure MPCard balance is sufficient; switch to a clean US residential IP
Account Review Issues
Review Failed: Provide authentic identity info; answer the verification call; contact AWS Support to explain
Verification Delay: Usually requires 24 hours for review; check spam folder; consult progress via the Support Center
