My free trial has expired and I created new subscription. How to change old subscripted mobile service to new?
I can't log into mobile service etc. from management panel...
I don't know if they can do this for expired trial subscriptions, as deployments may well have been removed, but Windows Azure support can move deployments between [active] subscriptions, so worth pinging them?

I cancelled my "Pay-as-you-go" account that used to host my windows azure website. today I looked on google however, and it decided to index the azure site (builtagroup.azurewebsites.net). I want to re-enable my account and put a permanent redirect on the site until google removes it, but it's not letting me. When I try to re-enable it, it just makes me create a new account, but does not let me have access to my old site. Any suggestions?
I don't think there is any current provision to re-enable cancelled account. You might have to open Billing Support ticket with Windows Azure Team and which is free.
Support for billing and subscription management issues are covered
with your Windows Azure subscription at no additional charge, and you
don’t need to have a Windows Azure Support plan to raise these issues.
To submit an incident, go to the Windows Azure Support site and click
on Get Support

Is there a way to play with and discover Azure Service Bus on the local emulator without registering to the real Azure Services?
I was following a tutorial on the use of the Azure Service Bus but at a certain point a Namespace and an Issuer Name and Key is required. I don't have that data since I'm not registered to Azure Services and I don't want to do it now (I will get my trial when I will feel ready to develop/test something real).
If you want to use the Brokered Messaging capabilities (Queues, Topics and Subscriptions) then you can install Service Bus for Windows Server, which will allow you to test locally.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windowsazure/jj193022(v=azure.10).aspx
For relayed messaging you will have to use an Azure account. The costs of using the relay service for development and testing are minimal, so it may be worth creating a pay-as-you-go subscription for this.
Unfortunately there is not an emulated Azure Service Bus you can run locally. The Azure Service Bus requires an active Azure Subscription. You will need a trial, MSDN subscription, or pay for a pay-as-you go subscription. The relay itself is extremely cheap - $0.01 per 10,000 messages. Dive in and start experimenting with your Azure 90 day trial. If you run out of trial, I'm sure MS would work with you if you could justify the extension.
One of the reasons I expect that it doesn't work without a subscription is that the service bus requires Azure ACS for authentication (this is the source of the Issuer Name and Key you are looking for) which also lacks emulation to my knowledge.
I have MSDN subscription "Visual Studio Professional with MSDN" and I am using Windows Azure using my subscription. I just wonder what happen if my subscription will expire, Can I still use free quota on Windows Azure portal forever? Or I won't able to access portal after my msdn subscription expire.

You should be able to continue to access the Windows Azure Portal after your subscription expires. When you signed up for the Windows Azure subscription benefits for MSDN it required you to enter a credit card. Depending on when you signed up the spending cap feature may have been in place, which would mean that you would not have been charged for overages unless you requested the spending cap removed.
Check out information about the MSDN benefits and the spending cap information. Here is another good article as well.
When the subscription completely expires then if you keep your data in there without removing it eventually you will either need to remove the spending cap to pay for that or remove it (all running deployments would have been stopped for you). I believe they store the data like 90 days after a subscription runs out before completely destroying on their own.
If you are using the Windows Azure Web Sites feature for the Free sites, you should be able to continue to access those sites (based on the quotas) at any time.
You can also request that an Azure Subscription be transitioned from a Trial or MSDN account to a pay as you go account at any time (see the last article above). Basically you are just removing your spending limit.
I have contacted Microsoft about moving a website to a different subscription, but that is not possible it seems.
Moving a web site from one subscription to another is not the same thing as retaining an MSDN subscription as PAYG after it has expired.
In the new Azure Portal, people who with 3-Month Free Trial subscription can create up to 10 websites.
I create a website using 3-Month Free Trial subscription already. Otherwise I have other subscriptions like Windows Azure MSDN and Pay-As-You-Go, but how can I create new website using these other subscriptions.
I mean, when I try to create new website, there's no way to select subscriptions, and the new website is always under 3-Month Free Trial subscription.
Based on your above description, I am not sure if you have a Paid Windows Azure Subscription.
So what you really need is to get a paid subscription first and that you can get directly from Windows Azure Account section at Portal. Paid subscription means you will have to pay for any other services (i.e. storage, bandwidth etc as applicable) you will use. You will have 10 free websites and will not pay anything if you just use Windows Azure Websites (ONLY) but still pay for Azure storage or anything else.
If you have multiple subscription associated with one single live account and accounts have Preview features enabled then I can see that new Management Portal does not have a way to select specific subscription to create a service. You would need to login to older portal and setup different Live ID for different subscription in "User Management" section and then use that specific Live ID to access specific subscription to create your website. (Note: The preview Portal is still in preview that's why such functionality in not available yet).
The new subscription needs to have the Preview features enabled:
"All you have to do is activate the Web Sites preview on the new subscription by going to Account (View my bill) -> Preview Features: https://account.windowsazure.com/PreviewFeatures "

On Azure, I am currently using my "3-month Free Trial" subscription, and just recently I got access to a "Windows Azure MSDN - Visual Studio Ultimate" subscription.
Is it possible to move an existing set of hosted sites to another subscription using the Portal?
Obviously I could just re-publish the sites using Visual Studio, but I'm wondering if there is a way to do this in the GUI?
There is no way you can accomplish in the Portal interface. You do have an option to request Windows Azure Billing Team and request them move all of your currently configured and running services from one Subscription to other subscription, the key is "all".
IF you want to move one specific service from one subscription to another then the available option is to deploy directly to other subscription.
I did do this once. I had to contact their billing team and after a couple of days of back and forth between them it was taking too long so I just did it manually, redeploying the sites to the new subscription. This may not be possible if you have many sites. I did a backup and restore of the SQL Azure database.
I am battling with azure support right now on trying to do the same thing. From what I can tell your best bet is creating the services on your MSDN subscription and redeploying.
I don't know a way to do this from the portal but I do recommend using Windows Azure PowerShell which has the ability to manage multiple subscriptions and in your case you can just do this cmdlet to copy a service into another subscription:
Publish-AzureServiceProject -sn MyNewSubscriptionName
