Activate Windows XP by phone in South Africa toll-free – what number to use?

Windows XP – got to love it. We have all reached the spot where we need to activate XP over the phone for some reason or another.

On the activation screen, there’s a phone number – which does not work. It’s a matter of finding the right one, though – an a simple Google. Yahoo! or Bing search doesn’t return the result quickly.So – in short – the number to use in South Africa:

South Africa Office: (27) (11) 361 7000 Toll-free: (0) (801) 43 43 43

In fact,the whole list of activation centres – with current numbers – is available here for product, volume product and server activations.

But you knew that already! 🙂

    These numbers work, of course, for Windows 2008, Windows 7, Windows Vista and all the other iterations, as well as Office XP, Office 2007 and all the other versions, including Microsoft Project, Visio etc.

    Thanks for the numbers! Just saved me a bunch of trouble. My mom keeps on breaking the computer so I keep on having to format Windows. She’s still too nublet for the internet so phone activation’s the only option. ¬_¬
