The procedure for activating the Windows operating system over the phone is not as complicated as one might imagine without having to deal with it, and it is not at all expensive. Activation must be completed within 30 days after the installation procedure of the operating system (OS), since otherwise the OS will go into a mode of limited functionality, which, by and large, is only sufficient to complete the activation procedure. Naturally, in order to successfully complete the activation procedure, you must have a “valid”, that is, a valid registration key.
The activation procedure can be performed in three ways: firstly, activate the OS using the Internet, in my opinion, the most convenient method in all respects, and secondly, connect to the Activation Center using a modem. This method is completely unsuitable for residents of Russia, since establishing a connection with another country and paying international call too expensive. I’ll note right away that I have never used this activation method, just like my friends and acquaintances.
Thirdly, Windows OS can be activated by phone. Many people believe that this is also expensive, but in vain, since in most cases this method is completely free and quite acceptable in terms of labor intensity. You can activate the OS from both a landline and a cell phone. I highly recommend using the second option, since after activation you will not have to listen and write down the response digital code, but you can, after the message about the successful acceptance of the primary code, press the key with the number 1 and you will receive cell phone You will receive an SMS with a response code. For Russia it is proposed to use toll free number 8-800-200-8002 (Toll-free number). You will see this number when you select the option to activate the OS by phone for the country Russian Federation. In theory, calling a toll-free number should be free for anyone mobile operator. To be on the safe side, I decided to further find out whether the call to this number is really free from my operator cellular communication(Megafon). You can see the dialogue with the support service in the figure. It is noteworthy that the call is free not only in home network mobile operator, but also in intranet and national roaming.
I note that the need for reactivation OS may occur if you have changed a significant part hardware on your computer. Replacement is necessary not only in the form of an upgrade in stationary conditions, when they decided to radically improve some characteristics of the computer, but sometimes, alas, it is also forced in field conditions, when it is necessary to assemble at least one computer from several units of failed equipment, but so that it works. I note that the activation procedure by telephone provides that any of the nine groups of six-digit numbers may be entered incorrectly. You are asked to enter numbers in groups; if a group is entered incorrectly, you will be asked to enter this group of numbers again. Having received a response code in the form of SMS or listening voice message, fill out the form and click Next. That's all, the Windows activation procedure using the phone has been successfully completed.
Many users who are not ready to purchase licensed version, are looking for ways to activate the Windows 8 operating system. Use special programs I do not recommend activators that are offered on various forums, as they may contain malicious code. The most convenient and safe way- this is activation by phone.

If the command was entered correctly, a message indicating successful key installation will appear.
A window will appear with information on activating the operating system. When the Internet is turned off, the button “ Activate by phone“, click on it.
Select your country and proceed to activation.
We take a mobile phone and dial the free number of the Microsoft Activation Center - 8 800 200 8002 . It will not be the operator (that is, not a person), but a robot who will communicate with you.
Activation steps:
- First you will be greeted. Then, a question will be asked about the type of your license: 1 - individual (personal), 2 - corporate. Press number 1 on your phone.
- Next, you will hear a little information about activation, learn how to get additional help and how to listen to the message again.
Next, you will be asked to enter blocks of numbers that are displayed on your computer. Take your time, enter correctly and gradually (they will tell you to enter the first block - enter the first 7 digits, they will tell you to enter the second block - enter the second 7 digits, and so on).
- After entering the last digital block, the entire code will be checked. If you make a mistake, you will be informed about the incorrect code and asked to contact the operator. In this case, end the phone call and try again.
If the code passes verification (that is, it is correct), the question will be asked: “On how many computers is the license used?” Press the number 1 on your phone (that is, on one computer).
- If the key is not locked, the robot will dictate the activation code: 8 blocks of 6 digits. Enter the code quickly but carefully. The robot repeats each block twice.
- We end the phone call and on the computer press “ Activate«.
Done, close the operating system activation window.
