I have same problem in Croatia...
:/
the same in poland. my visa seems does not work in marketplace :/
i saw that other people have problem so my friends what did you do?you solve the problem because me im not still searching... if i found something let you know and of course if you fins something tell me
I think the problem lays within your LIVE ID.
Check https://billing.microsoft.com/ --> there you will find your XBOX Live account, which was probably created when activating the phone with your ID. My guess is that the country (as it is with my account too) is set to United States.
This way you cannot register your creditcard, as it's not valid for the united states.
The next problem: The country cannot be changed at the moment. There are severeal threads at the Microsoft help center, adressing this issue. However they, despite being aware of the problem, did not come up with a solution.
The only solution is creating a new account and insertig correct Data (pay attention to the location set on your computer and phone, because Zune software automatically detects your location from there).
Let me know if that helped.
thanks my firend for the help bu i have try to make new e-mail with america adress was real because i have a friend and she told me and the phone is real at the settings of my phone i put united states but nothing except if i change country who support visa and with real adress and phone

Music and videos can you buy from Zune Marketplace with Microsoft Points. To get points, you have to buy game cards, and remember it has to be the game cards for US points. I bought mine at offgamers.com. You can also get cards for Zune Pass' I believe. Havent tried that though.

Hi all,
I have successfully activated WP7 on the HD2, but I made a critical mistake:
When I created my Zune account, you have to fill in your country/region. I filled in the Netherlands. But if you don't fill in a supported country here, Marketplace won't work, because you CANNOT change the country of your ZUNE account.
You can change the country of your live/hotmail account, but that won't help (and you will get an error in zune).
My question now: Is there any way to change my Zune-account/create a new Zune account on the same Live ID?
If not, when I hard-reset my phone to connect it to another live ID, do I have to call MS again for an activation code?
Same problem here. I think I tried just about everything.
I think the only solution is to hardreset the phone and setup a whole new live-account and call again with microsoft for the activation code on the new live-account
If there's anyway to solve it, please share it
I think you can revoke your Live ID from your phone on your Windows Phone page (on this one you can make ring your phone, erase your data or even block the phone). I don't know the URL but I got the page navigating Parameters>Locate my phone menu
Let's give it a try
I've done a reset of the phone and connected with a brand new live-id. I called Microsoft to get a new key, but without succes. The guy told me I had to go to HTC. This morning a lady helped me very well.
So I tried the key i got this morning, it worked perfect! Only problem of course is that i have multiple e-mail acounts on my phone. I'm not really sure how the connection with SkyDrive is, but I think I'll have to upload my photos to my new live-id.
Do you guys think MS will just give us a new activation code if we just tell the (partial) truth? So saying we want to change our Live-ID on WP7?
Because this issue is not limited to HD2-users, but also to "normal" WP7 users that want to use the market in countries without support.
You don't need a new activation code. A single code will work fine for multiple activations.

I think the URL is windowsphone.live.com, but I can't revoke my ID there. It still won't solve my problems if I could, because I want to revoke my ZUNE ID, so I can set it up again...

Even with a different Live ID? And within 30 days?
Ok guys, I can confirm it works!
What I did:
1. hard reset the phone
2. create a new Windows Live ID, based in the USA.
3. connect the new ID to Zune, say you are in the USA.
4. set up the phone, without windows live, but with another email adress
5. do the whole unlock-thingy including the registry change to HD7
6. Activate your phone with the new live ID and the old activation code.
Result: a fully functional WP7 phone.

That's the easy part. Now try to connect your non-US credit card with your account. You can't.
Or somebody found a solution to that?

If you have an European Credit card, create a UK-based live-ID instead of an US. The Credit Card should work, just make sure you use an existing address (they will never send mail, so just pick one).
Nice, but I already have US account. Changing it to UK seems to be impossible. Screw that multiple accounts. I dont wanna buy apps with dummy fake account since there is no way how to transfer these apps to my regular account (which I use for everything actually - mail, contacts, calendar) later.

Nope. It won't work unless the billing adress of your credit card is in the UK. But then again you would have a UK credit card
That's right. I've tried to register 3 different cards (2 VISAs and one MasterCard) and none of them is accepted not only in US, but also in UK. I even bought a VPN access to have an IP as coming from US, but no luck

Hard reset or only flash new/same wp7 rom?
By 'hard reset' is mean 'reflash the rom' right?

yes, you can do it on 2 ways,
1. go to settings -> about -> reset your phone
2. reflash the rom using MAGDLR etc.
both have the same effect.
Guys, if you know, if I delete my microsoft live account and then make the same one, with the same address (I am using a google account), will I have to ask for a new activation code from microsoft or can I use the one they sent me in the first place?
thank you
You try :
1. Install Registry editor
2. Modify any key :
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830 118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}]
"Email"=new your email([email protected] or [email protected])
"User"=new your email
- [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production]
"DefaultID"=new your email
3. Restart your phone.
4. access setting->email+accounts-> tap to new Windows Live ID -> tap to password -> typing newpassword -> Sign in.

From my experience, the activation code is tied to the device, not your Live ID. I have hard reset my HD2 multiple times and re-activated using the same code for three different Live IDs. I was using a US-based Live ID, then my son used my HD2 with his Live ID for a while, and now I have it back and am happlity using my Australian Live ID - all with the same activation code.
Have tried everything and cant get market/live to work. I have a valid wm7 code and spoke to Micros about it and they told me it doesnt work because market+ live is not up and running for sweden yet. Can that be? Have anyone gotten it to work that live in Sweden/nordics?
Is there any way around it? Maybe a proxy?
Is there any hacked market place? Cant even use youtube right now
Sorry for bad english
Have the same question. or is it possible to change the location so that the phone tink it is us?
You have to setup a new windows live mail. Set country to USA and region to new york. Worked for me, norwegian user.

I'am in the Netherlands and can't access the marketplace neither.
I've received a activation code from microsoft true chat.
Linkt it to my hotmail account, set my account to US and US in the controlpanel but still no luck...
Does it mean that i have to make a new account with US from the beginning?
If so isn't my activation code linkt to my old hotmail.com account?
Do i have to reset Phone 7 software to input the activation key again?
Thx in advance

You need to make a new account..It doesn't work to set your old account to US.
Yes you need to reset your phone to change to the new US account you've made...and then you need to enter your activation code again...that's it
It actually works great, many thanks!
Had the same problem. Deleted my live account and got a message that the mail address would be reserved for a while for me. Than reregistered the same email address with a UK location.
Now have access to market place.
However still unable to link/register one of my Dutch credit cards (master and visa) to this account. Even with UK address/postal code the cards are being rejected as 'invalid'.
So can't pay for any app.. only download free applications, strange a multinational as Microsoft blocks its own ability to earn money
Has anybody managed a workarround the creditcard thing??

Ive had this hotmal account for over 9 years now, and I did not realise it has been set to USA (it was on that by default I think). Everything is linked to this account - my xbox account, my msn, my windows phone account, my zune hd account, my emails, my contacts etc... and its never been a problem.
My problem is when I was trying to buy an item in the Zune marketplace, it wouldn't let me put my credit card in because it can only be from USA, not Australia, which is where I live. Making a new account would absolutely be the worst thing I can think of and is an unacceptable solution from my point of view, this account has too much.
So how do I go about changing the account country from USA to Australia? Any help on this matter will be highly appreciated! Or am I screwed, or is there some workaround I can go with for the time being apart from hard resetting my phone. Would buying xbox live credit points from someone in the usa allow me to do the work around? I presume since I'm with an American account if I can fix that up, I can actually purchase music as well in Australia as well as games?
Thanks!
try http://account.live.com, changing your country
Yes, that's already set to Australia, but the billing account is set to usa. And stuck on.
Have you had your Nodo update? I thought I saw something in the changelist that applied to this?
Sent from my OMNIA7 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
You can't change it. This has always been a point of contention with passport services. Once your billing region is set on account creation it can never be changed again. Ever.
I have the exact same problem, Have had for years now with my xbox. You're only option is to create a new account.
I've contacted Microsoft before about this and you get spun some nonsense about it being "impossible" to change.
No no-do update for my omnia 7 yet.
And if I do have to create a new account, how the heck do I even sign out. If only there was a way to *fake* an American card via paypal or something. You know.. anything.
Unfortunately to remove the "Primary" account you have to factory reset the phone. As far as I know. It's because everything (xbox, zune, market place) is tied to it.
I don't think the country information is encoded in the card number http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Credit_card_numbers as credit cards like Visa and MasterCard are not a national card. My guess is they query a central database which has the country of issue. As such I think it's hard if not impossible to fake.
Hello,
Let me suggest you a little trick...
1. Go to support.xbox.com
2. Log in
3. Click on My Account (top right)
4. Right down, the very last option - Manage Account Region
5. There you can change your country to your desired one
I did work for me and I hope it will help you...
Best regards,
Arnie
Did you sort out the problem in some way??? I am interested because I didn't put CC information yet for the marketplace and my main hotmail account is a .com registered in 1998 and i'm in Italy I have another one (.it) but I did it just for paypal
I'm lucky - my Dutch credit card (Master) just worked

I have a unlocked AT&T Focus working great in India with Mango updated. I use a Windows Live US account till now to download free apps from the marketplace. I am not able to buy because it is not accepting Indian credit cards.
Now since marketplace has opened in India, i would love to use that for purchase. Unfortunately the US live account is not working in the Indian marketplace.
I did some research and it seems that there is no way of migrating live accounts between regions.
I have read that doing a factory reset will make the phone ask for a live account again so that i can use my Windows Live India based account. But I fear that the unlock may go away doing a reset.
What are my options now to buy from the marketplace without loosing the unlock ?
If you're worried about Network Unlock, don't. Once unlocked, the phone will remain unlocked, no matter what you do (re/flash, hard reset, etc).
Refer to my post here for more details.
Thank you EnderPsp It worked. I did a hard reset using *2767*3855# and voila phone reset without loosing the Network Unlock. Then signed in with my india live ID and purchased from marketplace. Cool

Just sync over zune. If mango is not showing for you, try the cutting internet off while zune is searching for updates trick. This will take you directly to Mango via few intermediate updates.

Note : Do sync using your India based Windows Live Account. Otherwise you will not be able to use the India Marketplace. Great Phone. You will love it
My phone will arrive sometime next week.Is there any support for this phone in india from Samsung?if you browse thru Samsung india web site you only see androied phones.samsung has launched new omnia W mango phone in India,but it is not on their site.
Great I don't think Samsung will support this in India. Focus is a US specific model.
