i can confirm that they also are issueing codes through their online chat service.

For all of you that don't like to call because it is too expensive or you are affraid you don't know what to say, just chat. Go to their support site and if you can have local support it would be better, but in case WP7 is not released yet in your country, try US chat.

Next approach: smoking signals.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Johev:
Hi people, I live in Belgium and I am not sure HD7 was released here already. From what I could find there are 2 phones on the market with WP7, which is Omnia 7 (by Proximus provider) and HTC Trophy (by BASE provider).

If I would call Microsoft Belgium and said I had a HTC Trophy, would the activation work, or does it need to be HD7?

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hyellow:
it doesn't matter. tell 'm it is HD7, imported from somewhere. So members have been honest and told MS it was HD2, so, it really doesn't matter i think.

OFF: Well said. Besides, Microsoft employees have no idea of what reading or writing even means and they can barely talk. Don`t get yourself fooled by the fact that they generate 25-digit activation codes, those are robots actually. Oh wait, if that`s true then they had to build those robots somehow...

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ploew1:
I was honest

I don't know why anyone is lying to get codes. The people at Microsoft aren't idiots. I'm sure management knew very early what was going on.

I was completely honest about why I wanted the code. I asked about Microsoft's position on providing codes to HD2 users that wanted to use the WP7 rom, and was told that they were providing a code as a one-time transaction. Unfortunately I didn't get the code from the first rep because she insisted I enter the code immediately so she could verify that it was working.

When I called back, I provided the next rep all the same information. He told me the same thing, and gave me the code. He also told me that normally there would be a 10 dollar charge, but he was waiving the fee.

Mine was simple I called the MS number and explained to the rep who answered that I needed an activation code for my HTC Windows Phone 7 device. They explained all they need is a manufacturer to obtain an activation code from their Activation code generator told them again it was an HTC. I asked and confirmed that a few other people with genuine WP7 devices have had their Activation fail and ask for an Activation code.

They gave me the code after a few seconds and explained if it did not work to call back since every Live ID is eligible for 5 free WP7 Activation codes but every activation code is tied to that specific Live ID.

I have worked as a Microsoft Vendor at a call center much like the one I got the Activation code from. Trust me when I say none of the higher-ups know or likely even care if people are getting Activation codes for non-native WP7 devices and the only thing the reps care about is following policy i.e. not losing their job.

Hi,

First time poster but thought I might share my experience.

Live in the UK and phoned the Zune and Windows Phone 7 support line given in another post, 020 3450 5855, Option 4 though.

Had to wait a few minutes and then got put though to someone. Told them I just bought a WP7 phone and tried to sign into my Hotmail account and got an activation message.

He asked for my IMEI number, which I gave him, (even though it was for a HD2) and my e-mail address, again, which I gave him. Gave him my real Hotmail address.

Then while waiting for the system to generate the code, he asked for the manufacturer and make of the phone. I said HTC and HD7. After that, he gave me a code. Put that code in and it worked!

Well easy!

Want to say thanks for all the help that people put on these pages. Made the whole process 'upgrading' to WP7 very easy.

Hope this post helps people.

Try the Chat Option

Here's my two cents. Don't email or call them. Try chatting real time. I am not allowed to post URLs here as I am a 'new poster' on this site so I have some restrictions. Feel free to PM me for the URL

I opened a chat session and told them I have a HTC HD7, gave them my real name and email ID and 1 minute later I had the code. Works best on a Sunday because the support personnel on Sunday are not from the US and they are more open to giving the code without silly questions like IMEI number etc etc.

Hope it works for you !
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Phreaky:
Agree. Chatting works best. The first time I tried, I was asked to contact the local MS support in India. Tried again after 30 mins and said that India support couldn't help me and got the code in 5 mins :P
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] DingoJunior:
I don't believe that is true. I was never asked for my IMEI number in order to get a code.

Well, someone in a more obliging country could get another code (by calling up and providing different details). It was just enough of a pain the first time, though, that I don't think I want to go through it again.

It did, thanks.

Just followed these instructions and managed to obtain an activation code.

As I'm in the UK, called the telephone number mentioned - call diverted to MS Support in the US.

I said my new WP7 mobile is requesting an activation code and asked if they could provide one

Was asked what phone it was and said it was a HTC HD and was then asked if it was a HD7 and said yes

The support agent said she would setup my details on their database to make any future support calls quicker and, as such, was asked for my name, address, contact number and email address

Was then placed on hold while she generated the activation code

After a few minutes, the support agent came back on the line and requested my IMEI number to enable the activation code to be generated so gave my HD2 IMEI

Finally, after a few minutes, she came back on the line with my activation code.

The whole process was surprisingly simple and straightforward and the support agent was very friendly and helpful.

I was hoping I wouldn't get asked for an IMEI number and when I was, I thought it would be rejected but it wasn't.

Thought I would share to give others the confidence to try for themselves.
