Trying to activate via phone

Actually, I'd never done or experience activating via phone (only through online). But when I read the instructions again, is it true that you'll Actually talk with MS staff?

"B) (step 2) Enter the ID numbers on your phone keypad when asked to do so over the phone.
C) (step 3) Enter the confirmation ID numbers given to you over the phone into the "Windows Activation" wizard.
D) When finished, click/tap on Activate."

I've read in some topic about activating via phone, and they've never mention that they're actually talked with staffs (like calling a Real person or in customer service) and already activates after entering specific code, sometimes they were even talked by a Bot staff (not the real one).

Unless things go wrong, you'll get the automated service, and not a live operator.

If you actually need to talk to an operator, it helps (supposedly) to have gone through the automated process first - in practice, the hand-off from the automation to the live service rarely works as it tends to time out.

If you really need to talk to an operator, then follow the normal instructions but do NOT respond when the autoresponder asks which service you require - this should force an operator to pick up (eventually)

Thanks for the advise, last night I've called on UK freenumber to activate (through Skype) instead on local because when I call local number it sent me to the actual person instead of bot so I hang up (though it's my first time to call them in local).

But I wonder if the activating via phone is permanent or just temporary.

Telephone activation is permanent - hopefully next time you need activation, it will go through via the internet with no problem.

I have done this many times. especially with Office product 2010 keying it in on the touchpad of a phone works the best as the phonics over some phones causes a lot repeats. Larry
