    So some time ago i entered my giftcard on my phone to buy a game on my xbox one s. I didnt notice my microsoft account was on the country estonian.

    i went on my xbox to buy a game but i showed me that i have no money on my account so i went to billings and it showed 15euros and estonian on the top. I went to change the country on my xbox noticing xbox doesnt have the country estonian meaning i cant
    use the money i put in.

    :)

    Xbox Live doesn't work because my location

    Why are you trying to change your location?

    Region changes are meant for people who have moved to another country.

    If you billing,account & actual location are not all the same then you will have issues.

    Using redeemed gift cards of a different currency.

    Greetings. Recently, I have been wanting to use some of the redeemed money that I have in my Microsoft account for Xbox Games. This is where the problem comes in. My friend from the UK sent me this money, so it's in GBP (Pound Sterling). The obvious answer to this would be switching my location (from the US), restarting my console, and all of that stuff, but then another problem occurs. When I set my location to the UK, it asks me things like my address line, where I live, and my postal code, which all turn out to be wrongly formatted because of the country. Is there any way I can use my money in pounds without having to enter all this information?

    Many Thanks.
    There isn't any way around the region restrictions. At least no way that wouldnt break the rules.

    Cannot Launch Fable 3 in English

    Thanks for the extra info

    Sorry to say but right now cloud gaming uses your IP - physical location and set the language to the main of that country (and is not possible to change that without moving to another country where English is the main language)

    This means that for games that doesn't supports in-game language setup uses this main language as default :c

    Hi there,

    You can certainly bring your Xbox One with you! Make sure that the region for your console is set to match where you're moving to. Here is a guide on how to

    change your region
    . However, it will not transfer money between regions—be sure to spend the money in your Microsoft account before you change your account location.

    Let us know if you experience any problems!

    Which country store has the most complete list of available games and services?

    Hi and thank you for answer! Then what location should i choose if i currently live in Cyprus, where Xbox Live Gold is not supported? Also, i live here only while my work contract still lasts, but then i either return to Russia, or move to another country.
    Which country should i choose? What is legal in my case?
