    Gamertag Confusion


    Just today, one of my friends cleared his 3 letter gamertag for me to take. And yes, I know trying to manually take a short gamertag like that is nearly impossible
    and frankly quite a dumb idea, but we had no other way to do it. Anyways, he changed it, now it's completely available but I cannot take it for the life of me. It gives me constant #'s and I know no one has claimed it, so I'm very very confused. If someone
    could please let me know why this is happening, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

    (Sorry for the category, I don't know what to classify it as.)

    :)

    Hi

    It is possible that this gamertag is tied to another Microsoft account that is not active on Xbox Live or the gamertag is one that had been withheld by Microsoft for another reason and this will prevent you from being to claim the gamertag.

    because you dont.kmow.hoq.the system works

    When ykou are searching for a friend's name it has to be exact

    The Only way to actually check if a name is available is to try and get it if the system says it's taken its taken if you truly want to find the exact name use a random name generator and wait a few years for it to find the exact combination.

    All names has to be unique to be used

    But to be found you must use the exact spelling and case and spacing

    If it is saying the gamertag is yours then you may possibly need to wait a number of hours for the change process to complete. Also the gamertag that is showing for me on the forum is Alistrain can you confirm if this is the one you selected?

    Well I have no idea what the issue is because Microsoft took my money and the gamertag is mine, of course not on the account I wanted it on.

    Iv tried searching Google for similar experience to which I found none, can't imagine why one account saw it as taken when it obviously wasn't.
