    Trying to change my gamertag


    Trying to change my gamertag and it says that the one I had chosen was already taken. I really wanted it so tried to look up the person's profile online but it said that the gamertag was not valid. Is it just not showing up or is already taken or something?

    Trying to Change my Gamertag

    Hi, I'm trying to change my Gamertag from to just without the extra capitalization, but when i try it on the xbox console it says is already taken which i'm sure its just including my current gamertag. I've tried contacting microsoft
    support using the phone number, but they where far from helpful. So can anyone help with this or is my only option is to change it to a random gamertag then change it too which would cost $20 Trying to change my gamertag :(

    It just means your way of typing it isn't taken

    Ngoc phi is the same as for example you will have to be more creative with your name

    If the system says it's taken, then it's in use somewhere on Microsoft's servers so there is no way to get the tag. As ngocphi said, the system doesn't see things like different spaces as making a gamertag unique. The gamertag you want is in use here -

    @Smwutches -- Of interesting note regarding that profile it seems that the user is attempting to sell "training" for 1600 MSP. Obviously it's not been online in a while but it is violating the ToS and CoC.

    You only have upto 30 days to change it for free. Once the 30 days have gone, you will need to pay in order to change your gamertag.

    Figure that, really just don't understand why Microsoft support cant just help me out. Guess i keep it the way it is instead of giving away money to Microsoft. Might just go and cancel my xbox one preorder too now. * for lack off support on Microsoft part
    for such a simple request*
