@live email address

[Matthew.]

Some people found my post on how to get a free @msn.com address helpful (http://www.namepros.com/free-resources/291460-free-msn-email-address.html?highlight=msn) so i thought I would post this.

Microsoft/Hotmail/Windows Live Mail have yet to release @live addresses the public however a handy little trick enabling you to register one has become available (again).

These things are fixed fast by Microsoft so grab it while you can! (Note: contrary to what they said last time, @live emails will not be taken away from you)

1. Run over to http://get.live.com/mail/overview and click "sign up"

2. Copy the URL from the address bar, for example in the UK (note the @live extensions depend on your region) the url is:

https://signup.live.com/hmnewuser.aspx?mkt=en-gb&revipc=GB&ts=3968894&sh=Nj3E&hm=1&ru=http%3a%2f%2fmail.live.com%2f%3fnewuser%3dyes&rx=http%3a%2f%2fget.live.com%2fmail%2foverview&rollrs=04&lic=1

Remove hm from hmnewuser.aspx (so it becomes "newuser.aspx" and remove &hm=1.

Hit enter or the go button and you will be taken to a new page where you can sign up with your desired @live email!

Hope you find this helpful! A good way to get your @live address secured before the rush!

Cool, thanks for sharing! The MSN thing has been around for many years, but it's cool to pick up a Live name, I guess.

If you find a good strong American proxy then you may be able to fool the site. I tried changing the language parts of the query string but that didn't work so I would assume that is the only way

If you get it to work post back, I like .co.uk but .com is better

 

[blatant]

Awesome! I got p-s@live .com
Thanks REP+
Tried to rep but couldnt, sorry

 

[lzy]

Any recommendations regarding proxies?

I tried changing the language in the url too...simply got redirected.

Edit: Sorry I can't help with the proxy hunt, I have not looked myself, I am not a big proxy user.

 

[lzy]

It's okay Matt. Neither am I.

I'm having lots of fun too...I tried fxck@live but it's not allowed. :notme:

EDIT: Okay, last name I'm gonna take.

"My email address is 'at at live dot com'"

Set a decent US proxy, any will do. Then go to your language settings (I used Internet Explorer for this as I thought it might work better) and change everything to US settings. (No need for all I reckon, but better be safe :P)

Then go to the site, right-click, copy the link and paste it into the URL bar. Then remove the &hm=1 part.

Should work - Did for me. (UK)

 

[Matthew.]

Still working for me. Remember to change "hmnewuser" to "newuser" and remove "&hm=1"

Where are you from? Some countries it will block, read the agreements.
