hotmail.com email address when you are from the UK

[red11]

Is it possible? You don't get the default option of being able to choose a .com address because it detects where you are from. The thing is I really want a .com address, is the only way around this to get a friend from america to sign up for me, and give me the details?

I have one from waaaaaay back when... and no, you can't have it.

Psyche!


Edit: I dont see the problem with getting a US mate to do it anyway...

 

[antijoke]

I have one too. From the days of dial-up.

 

[lookitsjonno]

use a us proxy

 

[topgun06]

Im a .com'mer

 

[manic111]

I have one, but again it's from a looong time ago-think it must be getting on for ten years or so!

 

[ICEx21]

I have 2! You must be able to do it as my second one I just started about 8 months ago :S

 

[markk]

Same , i'll sell it to you for 1 million dollars!

 

[Jono]

I just put in my address as beverley hills 90210 about 10 years ago

 

[Knubje]

I am also .com from pre2000!

If you want I have loads of gmail invites to waste instead?

 

[iSam]

I'm a .com'er bit like gmail.com before it became googlemail.com.

 

[Banzai_Joe]

whats the big deal with having .co.uk anyway. You got something to hide? hmmm..? hmmm..?

 

[Anim]

awesome, i have both a .com and a gmail, didnt realise how amazing i really was.

 

[semi-pro waster]

The simplest ways would be either to get a mate in the US to do it or use a US proxy service as suggested. I'm also a .com'mer but that is from way back in the day, 9-10 years ago I think.

 

[Fibre_Optic]

use a us proxy

Exactly! Hardly rocket science guys!! And I thought you lot were meant to be good with computers!!! (jk)

 

[PixelChef]

Why would you want .com?

 

[z0mbi3]

How the hell did I manage to get my live.com adress last year then? I didn't do any faffing about with proxies.

Hangon I remember now; it was that javascript injection malarky.

Why would you want .com?

Probably some stigma from using .com back in the day. I have to say hotmail.co.uk does seem like a novice e-mail address to me (even though it's no different to any other address in reality).

 

[BullBoyShoes]

gmail.com and googlemail.com are the same thing - both work equally the same

 

[Amp34]

Pah, your not cool unless youe an @msn.com'er !

Just use a US proxy, there are plenty of free legal ones you can use, that's how I got another @hotmail.com address last year.

 

[antijoke]

Just use a US address like the apple store in NY to sign up on the website. that's what I did to get my US xbox live account.
