This really works, I do it 5 minutes ago.

-Close your MSN Messenger
-Open www.Hotmail.com
-Sign In
-Go to Options (Top-Right Corner)
-Go to Personal Options (Click Personal, on the left)
-Go to My Profile
-Change Country: Spain, Province: Madrid, Postal Code: 20085.
-Update
-Continue

DO NOT CLOSE THIS WINDOW.

On the same window in the "Address Bar" type www.Passport.net

-Go to Member Services
-Go to "Close my .NET Passport account"
-Click "Contact Hotmail"
-Click "Close my account"

On the same window in the "Address Bar" type www.Hotmail.com

-Sign In (with you closed account)
-Activate your account.
-Accept the Terms.
-Continue everything without selecting any checkbox. (You don't want to receive newsletter on hotmail right?)

Now you have 25Mb of space, and you can send up to 10Mb in attachments.

THIS DO NOT ERASE ANY EMAILS YOU HAVE BEFORE ON YOUR ACCOUNT.

Now you can change your country, province and postal code back to the original.
Edit: Leave Spain, until you get the 250MB update! (one or two weeks)

After a month Hotmail "supposedly" upgrades your account to 250MB.

Edit1: I just translated a document a friend send, so they might be unnecessary steps. But I tested, before posting.
Edit2: @msn.com accounts cannot be closed from Passport.net, I didn't try other alternatives.

Old news...

Something like this was posted before. Can't find it right now. There is an even easier way then you just said here. There is a tutorial in Dutch how to do it at http://www.scito.nl/?act=specials&id=1

Thanks for the tip!

I did it with one of my old accounts that never got upgrated, and it gave me 25MB right away!

None of my emails got deleted

Hmm, i have had a hotmail account since the 2mb, and i got a 250mb upgrade...

They do, or.. atleast did to me.

This sounds cool, but I wont try it... I'm afraid of getting my email deleted...
I'll complain to Microsoft in some days if I dont receive my 250 MB...
If they don't reply at me, then i will try this...
