    Can't change my gamertag


    Alright. So I've been trying to change my gamertag lately, but it always comes up with an error code, asking me to try again later. The next morning when I tried it, it still wouldn't work. I've wasted my 25$ on an Xbox gift card, if anyone can help it would
    be much appreciated.

    :)

    Ukraine is not a xbox live supported country so you will run into issues.

    Not much you can do.Your billing,account & actual location must all match.If they don't then you will run into all sorts of problems.

    Hi there,

    Purchasing errors can be caused by issues on the account itself. Be sure to check if your billing information is correct at
    http://billing.microsoft.com and also check
    http://account.microsoft.com/services for any outstanding amount issues, these need to be sorted prior to being able to purchase something.

    Also check if you can login at xbox.com and account.xbox.com and verify what GT is shown.

    After that try changing the gamertag on both xbox console and via xbox.com

    If you can't find anything wrong and it is still not working, best thing to do is to contact official Xbox Support via Phone or Microsoft Support Chat at
    Contact Us | Xbox Support they can do a more indepth look into this issue.

    Caking? Lol not sure if the funnier joke is what you said, or you.

    Xbox support can't change my username? lol.

    Don't reply back kid. Not sure why they have a disrespectful joke kid like you as an Ambassador. They need to rectify that.

    Yeah. Like I mentioned, not possible. But someone who works for xbox who can, could change it, then change it back. Just hoping someone on here does it so I don't have to deal with calling.
