February 25, 200521 yr here is a way to upgrade your hotmail from 2Mb to 25Mb and possible to be 250 after a month here we go : 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 to http://by17fd.bay17.hotmail.msn.com/cgi-bin/Accountclose 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. good luck NOTE : this trick only seems to work with @hotmail adresses, not with @msn adresses I tryed it myself and it works!
February 25, 200521 yr you dont need to go that far... Ive got a UK registered Hotmail account and it got automatically upgraded to 250mg all by its self, i didnt have to do a darn thing... so my advice would be to just wait.. you will get it.

Same same for Australian registered Hotmail.

Atheism: I don't believe this shit
February 25, 200521 yr you probably wont get upgraded if your country is registered as Thailand, i did the same thing changed to US but rather than deactivating my account just waited a few days.
February 25, 200521 yr I read about this two or three months ago and i changed my address and zip to NY 11001 and I am still waiting to upgrade I cannot use it as my primary email because it provide only 2 mb of space but if i dont use it regularly then it seems like it will never get upgrade. Let me try the deactivation scheme It works thanx alot for the info.. I have been waiting for about 3 months lol
February 26, 200521 yr Of course, if you want a real email address.... I've got a load of Gmail invites, PM me if you want one (dont forget to include which email address you want the invitation sent to)
February 26, 200521 yr Of course, if you want a real email address....I've got a load of Gmail invites, PM me if you want one (dont forget to include which email address you want the invitation sent to) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, a gig of storage and a much better interface IMO. I got almost 50 invites as well. I wonder how much longer before they drop the "beta" designation and just let anyone sign up.
February 26, 200521 yr Simply changing the country/zip code only works in some instances, AFAIK. I've done that method and it worked for one account. For another account, I did it quite a few months ago (same time as I did the first account), and it's still not upgraded yet. The "deactivate" method seems to be the one with the best results. Of course, if you're in one of the major countries, you probably don't need to do these things. I still can't get used to gmail. It's just so alien.
February 26, 200521 yr gmail is not good for slow internet connection because it use java applet and download all mails first, until it finish downloading all mails in cache u cannot see any mails, its much better to use yahoo and hotmail checking mails one by one . But lots of ISP and businesses blocked anymails ending with yahoo.com or hotmail.com including BNH hospital bangkok due to high volume of spam sent from these emails

Thanks a lot Wonder. I'd been wondering (no pun intended) when i would get the update. Now I don't need to!!! Cheers
February 27, 200521 yr I recently got my Hotmail account upgraded automatically with 250 Mb!! Don't know why but one day I opened it and had 250 Mb space and could also send files up to 10Mb! And I'm registered in Thailand???
February 27, 200521 yr There is some form of criteria for getting automatically upgraded to 250MB with no user intervention, but nobody is sure what that criteria is. Anyways, if you don't want to wait (for an indefinite amount of time) then you should use the provided method to "force" an upgrade.

Your trick worked for me on my secondary hotmail account (now have 25MB)....In my primary hotmail account (registered with "Thailand" location) hotmail previously automatically/ magically upgraded me to 250MB, but I have been using that primary account for a while
February 28, 200521 yr Thanks to you wonder… I never could do it without you! I have a 25 MB hotmail inbox now, you deserve a gold medal, Thanks a lot. Best regards Billion

Probably a full version is coming soon from Google.
