Hotmail dead
Hiya all,
I am trying to sign up for a new .co.uk Hotmail address but sadly I am not having much luck as when ever I click on the sign up button all I get is Page Cannot be Displayed, even with firewall off I get this error.

Re: Hotmail dead
Seems okay here, I've got to the page where you enter all your details.
Give it a go now.

Re: Hotmail dead
Also make sure you are using IE for it as sometimes I've had FF stall when trying to sign in with my passport details. Better to use IE to set it all up than go round in circles for no reason.

Re: Hotmail dead
You do know that you don't need a "Hotmail" address for messenger?

Re: Hotmail dead
You give the gmail address as your email address when signing up to Hotmail.

Surely..."when signing up to Passport" ?
When you sign up to Hotmail, the email address you get, which will be linked to a Passport account, is going to be @hotmail....as you've just signed up for a Hotmail email address (which happens to also be a .NET Passport linked address you can use for Messenger).

Re: Hotmail dead
A friend has her NTL address as her messenger address.
Looking at it now they seem to be using @hotmail.co.uk so no longer allowing your own e-mail [img]Download Failed (1)[/img] [img]Download Failed (1)[/img].

You can still use *any* existing email address for a .NET Passport account to use with Messenger:

Use an e-mail address you already have
You can use any existing e-mail address from any e-mail provider when you create your credentials for the Passport Network. Then you can use those credentials to sign in to any site on the Passport Network.
To access e-mail at www.hotmail.com, you must use an MSN or Hotmail e-mail address, or an address associated with an MSN Personal Address.

I use my main Gmail address for my Passport/Messenger.

It's one of the heaviest hit addresses, most of the major ISPs suffer from spam but people seem to love chucking loads of rubbish at random hotmail addresses.
Oh and sorry, Yes I meant passport, was doing several things at once and getting confused lol
