Cheat your way to a 25MB Hotmail account

At your own risk! OK?
WE WROTE about Hotmail 250 MB free accounts quite some time ago. We mentioned it here and cleared up back then that you can get 2GB now if you are ready to pay and that you will get 25MB and eventually 250 MB in the months to come. Some people already have 25MB and even 250MB, but the majority still have only 2MB. The months have passed and I was still at 2MB so I tried to cheat my way to 25MB. The best thing is that it worked.

All you have to do is to turn off Messenger and sign up in your Hotmail account. Go to options/personal and than My profile. Change your country code to USA and pick one of the states - we tried Florida and used 33332 as the zip code. After you change this, go to update than continue. While you are still logged into Hotmail go here and deactivate your account. Don't worry - all your mails will remain safe. Now you have to go to hotmail.com and log with your username and password and you will automatically re-activate your account.

When you log in you will see that you already have a 25MB account while it's supposed to upgrade to 250MB soon. I did it few days ago and I am still at 25MB. µ
