Don’t you have a landline or something?
um, you CAN use skype to call toll-free numbers without paying.
As you can see in this screenshot, I have no skype credit.
It lets me call this toll-free number anyway. (For example, this is the toll-free number for activating Windows in Austria. Try it yourself.)
Skype is very bloated perfomance-wise and i’m currently using my laptop. I don’t want to hurt performance so i won’t really bother with it.
Then deal with it. Someone’s giving you a solution and all that comes out of you are excuses.
well fuck it i’m going to infect my pc just for activing a fucking operating system.
how ironic. fuck it i’m going to linux-a Gamerappa from a alternative universe
I’ve been thinking for a solution and well KB3138615 did not worked because it was “checking for updates”.
I’m thinking that upgrading to Windows 10 fixes the problem. A while back i did a little bit of research and it says that Windows automatically activates when linked into a microsoft account since the 2016 anniversary update.
Even Microsoft Support (not the forums) says about it.
I’m typing this on a dell laptop running 8.1… Not on my pc. I changed the title to make it more clear
Here’s a shitty poll
- Upgrade to Windows 10
- Crack Windows 8.1
- Give Up
- Be like the alternative universe Gamerappa and go to Linux (very unlikely)
- Downgrade on Windows 7 and crack it.
- Downgrade into a mobile phone (why. just why?)
- seeyouinhellboys’s “grin and bear it and use Skype” option
where’s the “grin and bear it and use Skype” option
you see it?
i’ve added it.
lol nice
Ok currently according to the pool i should do nothing but to install skype although i don’t have a mic.
Then get a phone plan or use a landline. It’s not that hard.
I don’t have one of those old big landline phones… And phone plans… even though they say it costs “0 bucks”. It’s just marketing bs…
The skype option was just a joke. Actually. If it didn’t existed then “Upgrade to Windows 10” would win.
You really expect those $0 phone plans to be free? Wow are you cheap.
You know you could use Fire RTC
How to roast someone 101
I know that the “0 bucks” thing are marketing bullshit to make people get their “phone”. in reality after some time it costs money.
I could. But. Is it a VoIP service or just something else?
no its completly free no paying needed you can have a custom number too
Not all VoIP services are free, 'cause there are paid ones as well!
Like that shitty TextNow 10$/month plan that makes a “VoIP” phone look like a real phone?
Yeah.
I have no idea why people want me to get a phone/use FireRTC/get skype and activate Windows 8.1… I thinked i could just upgrade to Windows 10.
