Xbox Live Number

This thread might seem a bit stupid but, safety comes first. When you are building your gamer tag right? When you put your phone number in do you HAVE to put it in, or just put a fake one?

Seeing as it's Microsoft I don't think you should have any problems with safety, I wouldn't imagine them taking your phone number and randomly calling you up, or giving it away, I think you can use a fake one but it wouldn't matter much

[MattyBoy]

Do you need the phone number for anything, if not ill put fake one in.

Not that I'm aware of, I would put in a real one if I were you because it may have an important use, I suggest you use an email account that is at least 18 years of age when signing up, that's if you haven't already because you lose some features, such as Windows Live Messenger

[MattyBoy]

Did you put a fake one iN?

[Neil]

Nope, I used all real details, which is why I'm stuck with a child account

[MattyBoy]

Ok im gonna put my real details in. What features dont you get if your U18?

[Neil]

From what I know just Windows Live Messenger, more features will probably become available later but that's it I think

[MattyBoy]

Does the membership start has soon has you create your gamertag?

[Neil]

Yea, it will activate as soon as you accept all the stuff and choose the type of membership you would like (Gold or Silver)

[MattyBoy]

On the bit where it says enter your credit car number, i will need my dad to do that right?

Not sure, I never entered any credit card details, is that how you're paying for xbox live gold membership?

[MattyBoy]

No, i entered my datr of birth etc. But it says im U18 so my dad has got to sign me up, so i created a account for him, but it says "To make sure your that age, please enter your credit card number"

That is weird I never had to enter any credit card details :S
Well I guess you should do it then

[MattyBoy]

Did you enter U18 msn? And did you have to make your parent sign you up?

[Neil]

Did you enter U18 msn? And did you have to make your parent sign you up?

Yea I had to get parents to sign up a parent account because I'm under 18

[MattyBoy]

Did they enter the credit card number? If you dont know ask them? And i havent exactly connected my xbox 360 to my pc yet, is that ok?

P.S. Sorry for the questions

It's ok I'm happy to try and help, when my parents did it they didn't add any details like that at all, just confirmed what I entered was correct (home adress, phone number etc.) and put in there email address and password, you will probably need to xbox actually connected to the internet before you'll be able to make your account xbox live enabled so I suggest you sort that out
