Here's a tip to get your Hotmail account upgraded to 250MB instead of the regular 2MB which can be a little bit too small sometimes I tested it out three hours ago and immediately my account was upgraded to 25MB. A few minutes ago it was upgraded to the full 250MB.

Warning:
Please only try it at your own risk. Don't be angry if it causes any damage! If there are any important e-mails in your account please backup them before proceeding.

It has worked for me and this trick has also worked for a large amount of other people. But some people report that it didn't work for them..

Anyway, here are the steps:

• First go to your Hotmail account and log in.
  
• Then go to the settings of your account and click on "My Profile".
  
• You need the adjust the country to United States and the state to Florida (postal code 33332). (it could be that other states also work)
  
• Then go to http://memberservices.passport.net/memberservice.srf?lc%2043.
  
• Click on the link to terminate your .NET passport. Then you need to click on the button the contact Hotmail and click on "close my account".
  
• Close Internet Explorer and go to hotmail.com and log in again.
  
• Normally you should have a 25MB account now. Soon it will be upgraded to 250MB!
  

Hope it works for everyone!
