  1. Xbox live region change


    Hi,

    I've accidentally changed my region from UK to United States and it seems that i can't change it back for at least 3 months which is obviously quite a long time to wait. Is there anyway i can change it back without waiting? Or please let me know if I can
    anyhow cancel my recent changes.

    My xbox live id is

    Thank you very much in advance.

    :)

    Sorry but once changed the region cannot be switched back for 3 months. You'll have to wait until that time is expired until you can switch back again.

  5. Sorry but that's not very helpful. I made a mistake because of poor user experience of the website. I don't understand why i should wait for entire 3 months just to cancel a mistake. I have plenty of digital content and xbox live subscription with automatic
    renewal in UK. I live in uk and prefer to play on European servers and because of simple missclick I have to just wait with all of these for 3 months? That seems pretty ignorant to me. Do I get the new xbox live subscription now and then cancel again in 3
    months? What about my uk subscription? Seems like really a lot of effort for no particular reason.

    I don't really want to change my region - I just want to cancel the accidental changes i made earlier.

    Is there any way to get in contact with actual support? (people capable of making changes) rather than fellow users who copy paste answers from the FAQ?

    The migration page warns you of what you're about to do before you complete the migration and that you must wait the 3 months. So by confirming the migration you agreed to those terms.

    You can contact support, but there is no guarantee that they can migrate you back. 1-800-4my-xbox

  7. It doesn't really warn you of anything. It just gives you links to support pages. Moreover, it doesn't even tell me my current region. It just gives you a country drop down and usual legal stuff. I made this mistake because i thought my region was not uk
    and when i selected uk it told me it's impossible to change. That's why i tried US just to see if it works.

    Anyways, if the purpose of this support forum is to prove I'm an idiot - you just succeed. Can somebody try to actually help me? Thanks for the number but changing my region to US still didn't make me american and i have no idea how to even dial 1-800-4my-xbox.

    Xbox live region change

    well two things first there is multiple confirmation screens you cannot just click ok

    there is no way to accidentally migrate as you have to do 3 clicks not just one

    read before you do anything

    Sorry, I had the regions in reverse when I posted the number.
    http://support.xbox.contact-us
    will get you in touch with support for your region (you'll need to make sure the website is set for UK).

    I have the same issue. I had moved to Australia and my region was set to NZ. I didn't notice as I was still able to purchase DLC using my Australian cards. However, when I did go to change my account I accidentally picked America. So now I can't purchase
    any DLC for 3 months.

    I got in touch with a xbox support but nothing they could do.

    My main concern is I used a single use code for WWE 2k14 and worried once I change to my proper region I am going to have to purchase a new online code just for that.

    Change region on x360

    When you change the country/region for your billing contact information, you're also changing the country/region for your Xbox Live account. If you don't want the country/region for your Xbox Live account changed, leave this information as it is. For information
    about what happens when you change the country/region for your Xbox Live account, see:

    support.xbox.com/.../change-region

    3, 12 month gold cards

    Gift cards are region free but xbox live codes aren't.

    Taken from the official support pages:

    Something went wrong. Sorry about that. Give it a try in a while

    If there are any issues with the Xbox Live service, try to redeem the prepaid code later.

    If there are no problems with the Xbox Live service, check the following:

    •The region for the code matches the region for your Xbox Live account. If you need to change your region, see Change your Xbox Live country/region in your billing information.

    •The billing information for your Xbox Live account is correct.

    •The region in your Xbox Live billing information matches the country where you currently live.

    •There's not an outstanding balance on your Xbox Live payment option.

    If you need to change the region for your Xbox Live account, go to account.xbox.com and then click Change my region.

    Fallout 3 Code does not work

    Does your account region match your actual region if no that would be why

    Your account region must reflect your actual region

    You must use the region migration tool in this website under account and change my region

    Please note you must live in an xbox live country or don't use the tool you will lose your membership if you migrate to an non xbox live region

    After changing your region you must change the console region to match

    If you don't live in an xbox live region there is nothing you can do.

    Hi Nenon. You are unable to change your Xbox Live Rewards region to your current Xbox Live region because the program is ending. In order to get a deposit, you must change your Xbox Live region to match your Rewards region, which is MEX.
