Many of the non-Techies have not yet realized that you can convert your hotmail account to 250 MB and that Gmail is better than hotmail. But if you have gotten into the routine of hotmail and can’t give it up under extreme circumstances, then here’s a procedure to have yourself a merry little upgrade….
1) First go to your Hotmail account and log in.
2) Then click on OPTIONS --> PERSONAL --> MY PROFILE
3) You need the change the country to United States and the state to Florida (postal code 33332). (it could be that other states also work)
4) Then Sign out.
5) Then go to http://memberservices.passport.net/memberservice.srf?lc%2043.
6) Click on the link "Close my .NET Passport account". Then you need to provide your login info again and then click on the button "Contact Hotmail". They might ask you for an alternate email ID, select the negative answer and click continue. If asked to enter any password, enter it.
At last, click on "close my account". Don’t worry about the warning, no mail will be deleted if the rest of the procedure is completed within time.
7) Close your browser and go to www.hotmail.com and log in again.
8 ) Click Reactivate your Account and follow the instructions
9) Normally you should have a 25MB account now. Soon it will be upgraded to 250MB!
If this didn’t work and your emails got deleted please don’t send a hitman over to my place, its at your own risk. But I’ve been to many forums and there has been no incident of emails being lost… It's worked out for me .. u try it out..
