what is the number on a gamertag? my number changed and I can't access my former number...

Hello, yeah but you didn't understand my "question". My gamertag is available. I shouldn't have those numbers and I know it because I have the original gamertag that i liberated by changing it in the first place. I can give the support the e-mails of both
the accounts that had this specific gamertag before I tried to change it to have it on the right e-mail account.

So now, even if I know MYGAMERTAG is available, I still have the dumb MYGAMERTAG1687 instead of the one without numbers, and if I want the one without numbers, I can't because it says I already have it, so to fix this I should use a OTHERGAMERTAG to change,
then change again to MYGAMERTAG to have access to the one without numbers (because, as I said, I know it is available as I have liberated it in the other account)

So none of my changes were worth anything and if I want the one with no numbers I have to pay 2 time the change as it won't let met change for the same gamertag without the numbers

okay. I change my gamertag pretty often. is there a way to give you access to prior gamertags or even the serial number of the beta xbox?

Hey guys,

I would like to change on my 2. Account my gamertag and everytime comes up a #--- number if i select it. If I try it on my main account there comes none of this numbers is this a bug, issue or something else?

thank you in advance

This is normal. If its giving you #s at the end of the gamertag than this means someone else already has that same gamertag without the #s.

Its not a glitch or bug and working as designed. Its all explained here

Tried signing up for Music Pass. Not getting a verification code in my google email. My phone number changed so I can't get a text. Can't change my phone number without getting a verification code. What's going on?

You can't change the numbers at the end of your gamertag...they are simply 4 random numbers the system assigns to identify that your gamertag is different than someone with the same gamertag. ie 2 people with as their gamertag would be 4192 and 5862 (I just randomly put numbers in like the system would)
