microsoft product activation and virgin mobile

[chaotic_russ]

just rang to activate my reinstall of vista via my mobile , by mistake i called the free phone number and it said this number is barred . why is this as i have never had this problem before even though you pay for the call

Some weird mobile network thingy. Try using a landline.

Is it an 0800 number?

With O2 you had to dial 800 instead and drop the leading zero.

With t-mobile they warn you that you will be charged for the calls. Same goes for other non-goegraphical number. These are usually not covered by your inclusive minutes or calling plan.
