Hi Guys,
My hotmail email ID is linked to my country however every time i try to add a credit card the default country is the UK and i am unable to change that. Any idea how i can get paid apps?
Thanks
Get a new Live ID, and remember to choose your country to US or UK (hotmail.co.uk or something like that).
And apply the new live ID to your phone.
I had this problem also.
I created a new Live ID. I set a random UK address (but real address!). Registered the new ID with my phone (i reset the phone to factory settings)
Then I added my card with the same UK address, even though my card is not registered in UK.
It worked. I managed to even buy an app.
Before this, with my old live account I got an error registering my credit card.

Hello,
i bought my trophy 7 in december, so i needed to make a live id with USA as country, because at that time Marketplace was not working in Belgium...
Now.. months later, apps are getting released from belgium, so you only can install them if you registered your phone with belgian live id
The only way to change my ID, is to reset the whole phone... so i lose all my contacts, messages etc...
Is there a way to change something in the registry?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
There is no way to change that first windows live account. You must reset your phone.Period
But the only thing that you cant backup are the text messages...All other PIM data are stored in the cloud...
And if you reset you will have a locked phone again.
Ok so I have been wondering how many people here are using a US Windows Live ID and is currently living outside US?
My Windows Live ID (NZ) has been perma-banned recently because I took photos of my girlfriend and I touching. I have forgotten that the auto-upload was on hence all that taken photos went straight to skydrive, but that mobile uploads folder was set to private or "only me" so no one could see it. Still MS banned my account, leaving my zune and xbox profiles untouched.
I was still able to receive emails, but not send, nor share photos to facebook and twitter, and even buy apps and games from marketplace, hence that Live account is totally useless so I deactivated it. I made a new one set in the US so I could get features that I couldnt before with the NZ account, but I accidentally made a new xbox profile so I couldnt transfer my current one to the new one. Now I'm making another new US Live ID even though I live in NZ. I have asked my cousin if I could use their home address so I could put in my credit card details.
The only drawbacks I could think of using a US-based Live ID are the currency, and Local Scout. Currency conversion doesnt bother me. I have paid $11NZD for the ChevronWP7 unlock and that was $9USD. Games in NZ are usually $4.99NZD, but converting them from $2.99USD will cost around same price so its not really a problem to me. Local Scout isnt supported in NZ hence it wont work.
So the whole point of this is, how many here are actually using a US Live ID but not living inside the US?
I own a Windows Phone, and buy a couple of apps. My wife want my phone so i give it to her one week so she can decide
For this, i hard reset the phone and sart with her Live ID
Is there a way to install the apps that i already buy with my live id, in her live id ?
nope, the apps are tied to your live ID, only way to share apps is to share live IDs...I know it sucks
Technically, they're actually tied to your Gamertag (Zune Tag) which can be transferred between Live accounts with some effort. However, the intended design is very much that apps are purchased for one user.
Of course, she can still use trial and free apps without any problem.
Just wondering if any Vodafone customers from Ireland or UK have come across an issue where they can't use their carrier credit as payment option under Account in the Google Play Store?
The option used to be possible on my phone but isn't anymore as Vodafone isn't showing up as a payment option that can be added. Only credit/debit card, PayPal, and Redeem Code are available. Not sure how to get Vodafone back.
Hi, I have one of these tablets that came out of a kitchen showroom (legally - I work for that company) and was supplied pre-loaded etc. The company that supplied it have disbanded that department and I am unable to get access to the Google account that set it up (the company don't even know the account name). Is there any way to reload the OS to bypass the accont check? This is all legal and I have permission to do anything I want to the tablet. I'd hate to bin it just because it is locked to a specific account with no way to retrieve that account.
I managed to reset the tablet but as soon as it gets a network connection, it wants me to sign in which I am obviously unable to do.
