candytripn your offer is awesome. =)

I will try just a few more times before jumping to you ^^ Will have to use a proxy as they referred me to a german supporthotline :D

EDIT: even with proxy (advanced tor) they found out that i was located in germany oO

EDIT2:

You are now chatting with 'Jed'.

Jed: Welcome to Microsoft Customer Service Chat. Please give me a moment while I review your question.

Rodriguez: Hi. okay

Jed: Hello there Rodriguez. I see that you need the activation code for Windows Phone 7. I also reviewed your chat with my colleague. Have you called our office there in Germany?

Jed: Please note that they are the only ones that can provide you with that. You cannot get that activation code here in this chat service.

Rodriguez: nope. It is 1:40 am. But i would just like to activate the ID but i hate phone calls

Rodriguez: You sure that there is no way?

Jed: Rodriguez, yes I am sure that there is no way for us to assist you with this concern. My colleague has already clarified that for you.

Rodriguez: there is but you dont want..

Rodriguez: anyway thanks..

Rodriguez: *sigh*

Jed: You may click here for contact information of our Germany office.

Rodriguez: yeah i know

Jed: Most welcome. Have a good one now. Thank you for using Microsoft Customer Service Chat. Please feel free to come back again. We are available 7 days a week, 24 hours a day.

Rodriguez: can i ask sth?

Rodriguez: it is offtopic

Jed: May I know what you mean by that?

Rodriguez: sth = something

Rodriguez: i wondered how you managed to know that i already spoke to your colleague? i changed ip with proxy, changed name and email..

Rodriguez: and i know that some guys already received activation codes via chat

Rodriguez: i dont want to offend or something similiar

Rodriguez: just curious

Jed: On my chat screen is your chat history. I have the records of all your chats for today, Enzo or Rodriguez. That is one capability of our tools.

Rodriguez: nice one

Rodriguez: 1st one is right ^^

Rodriguez: and concernig other people already having received codes via chat?

Jed: I do not have that information. From the best of my knowledge, we have been directed to give only activation codes for North American customers only.

Rodriguez: okay. thanks a lot for clarification

Rodriguez: and still bein polite after such "not nice" questions

Rodriguez: i wish you a great day/evening

with proxy or not

they always know im in brazil and tells me to call local or M$ phone support...

damn im starting to hate the following line.

"Arvin: You may call them at: 800-936-5700. Their hours of operation are from Monday-Friday 05:00 AM - 09:00 PM and Saturdays-Sundays 06:00 AM - 03:00 PM Pacific Time."

I got the activation code by sent e-mail to MS-online help then they replied back to me with activation code.

I just gave them my name, telephone number and email address. :D:D

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] AustinRi:
Hi,

For all those who are going through a proxy and are still being identified, what are your regional settings on your systems?

for windows, try changing it to US and try again or test what information your browser is giving away. I used ipaddresslocation dot org

If you have windows 7 and xp mode, this can be done without rebooting.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] real187:
i tried it 3 times and it worked, no problem if your from the netherlands

why from the NL--> my reason---> because i bought a phone in the us and i contacted MS nl and they say they dont have support yet because wp7 isnt officialy released in NL. :rolleyes:

try to tell this in the space you specify your question before the chat starts

worked for me.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] springah:
ok, do i still need to jailbreak it and stuff once ive got a key from MS?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hyellow:
yes, otherwise you can not make the changes that let's your HD2 identifies it like HD7.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] candytripn:
have tried for the last 2 hours to get a code for another member, reps have begun getting very rude, and are now terminating the chat open connecting, guess I'll need to try from another computer, off to the library. If you messaged me about a code, please be patient, I am doing my best to get to all of you :)

another hour in, and actually posting part of a log of my last (my friends who emailed me saying he got one, hah) they gave me one... if they tell you no, or to call in, keep trying, bug them and be very direct. You know for a fact (this thread for one) that they CAN give you one... given that you live where they can (shrug)

Keep trying, keep trying keep trying.... Good luck guys, heading to bed and will try and get to the other requests soon :)

No Luck here!

I have spoken to 4 different people. Patrick, Jowell, JoJo and Alice on 2 different IP addresses with different emails. They have all told me I must wait to call local MS support on Monday. One of them told me Windows phone 7 isn't available in Korea(i am UK so lord knows why they told me that) so they can't help. The rest just kept telling to the call the local center then would hang up! Say sorry when I reconnected then hang up again lol.

If you want to remove WP7 from you device follow me:

1.Go to bootloader [Tri-Color] by Pressing power button and then volume down.

2.Flash any wm6.5 custom rom or stock rom.

3.Your memory card lock by WP7 use the tool below to get it working.

4.Connect your phone via mass storage and format using this tool below.

5.Flash NAND Android rom.

I just tried here in the U.S. and it was a piece of pie. I just told them

that my Tmobile HD7 was asking for an activation code and would not allow

me to download anything.

She then just asked me for my name and number and then got my code.

I also tried 2 days ago when I got the Activation code for my sisters HD2.

They asked for the IMEI but I told them that I didnt have the phone currently with me

and asked them if I could just give them the Cell Phone # and they said sure.

Might be worth a try. If not, tell them that you guys should of stayed with Android :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] suzaku:
FINALLY!!!

finally got my code :D yaaaaaaaaaaaaay

after 5 or 6 failed attempts with reasons varying from "windows phone 7 is not officially launched in your country" to "call your country's office" and "I don't have the tools to generate the code", I finally got it:

lol I didn't even have WP7 installed when I got it, I just went silent for a couple of minutes then replied to him saying it's working :p

and oddly, I didn't change my location to USA like the previous tries, i just left it on Egypt.

so for those who can't get it, just keep trying they didn't block it or anything,I just think the main point is that you make them understand you got the device from USA.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
I'm in US and was able to get a code from chat a couple days ago... gave them fake name and phone number, and they asked for imei, so I gave them a hd7 imei I found online. I decided to try to get a second code the next day so I could help out someone who couldn't get one, so I made new live ID, made up another fake name and phone number, and found another hd7 imei... I went on chat and they asked for imei, then name and phone number, then asked where I was chatting from. Everything seemed to be going fine, but then she said that from seeing my previous chat session, that I had already been given an activation code. I told them that I think my friend got a code, but it didn't work, she wouldn't give me one. So I guess they keep track of the chat sessions from your ip address... either that or they keep track of imei's and that some had already used that one I found.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] :
Does anyone know how many times I can use my Activation Code Before Being Rejected By MS? Such as in the Cases of Windows XP/Vista/7 where you can have a Key that was for your PC but you ended up reformatting it with a Retail Version, then you use the Key but you can only use that key in between certain time lapses? such as 3 months or so..so in simple terms does WP7 have the same rules applied to it?

Thank you very much!!!

So after researching a couple a times within a year I came across this forum post. I went to the microsoft live chat, entered my name and wrote down my problem (I was just setting up my htc hd7 and when it asked me for my activation code i couldnt find it in the box). So the lady at the chat asked me to confirm my problem and give my full name, phone number (I live in the netherlands and gave my dutch phone number) and gave the model name of my "windows phone" (i said hd7 but it probably works with every wp7 phone). After a minute i got my code!! Thanks OP!
