What is the best way to activate.Thanks!

 

Best way always is your genuine key. Second best is to wait until new MTK is available which can handle V6 or wait for a KMS server which should be available soon

 

I do not have a genuine key.
I'll wait KMS server.Thanks.

 

Skype method does not work for me the computer generated tells me that my request could not be processed and my call would be forwarded to a representative.

 

Skype? "Many apps and services (like this one) rely on a Microsoft account to....".

Do people really enter their MS account details when they install Windows 8.1 Pro, or am I being paranoid?

Why not just use a payphone, as it is a freephone number and anonymous.

 

or you use other one's phone to be most secure

 

Yeah Use the Phone of your mother in Law she can take it

 

Or do what I did: Use Skype to call 411, and from there MS activation

 

well my windows media center activate automatically after connect to internet with Media Center free gift key windows 8.

At 1st. using online method
note: use the same windows live ID login u used to activate windows 8 in windows 8.1

2nd using offline activation via phone call

 

failed too.

 

Do you've microphones? If yes, attach them to the audio outs and then attempt to activate. Should work. (y)

 

u have a bad internet connection speed

 

try using different key

 

well u can calling from any apps or services like skype, phone, etc..
they use skype because it's free and easy ..

for safety:
hidden ur ip address (e.g use Hotspot Shield)
make new windows live acc id with fake information
login skype with windows live acc id
call via skype

 

Closing this thread there is more than enough discussion on phone activation
