setting up xbox live account for my daughter

teleaddict

I've been trying to set up a silver xbox live account for my daughter without success.
I've tried a number of times over the last 3 to 4 months using her xbox 360, but due to her age, it asks for adult verification. I select it to link to the silver account I created when Santa brought it in 2014, after asking me to confirm my details and supply credit card details, when I submit the request it returns an error message stating it is unable to set the account up at the moment :mad:
I've check the online connections and all appears fine there.
Can anybody help me out? thanks in advance

Have you tried doing it online ?

Don't know if it helps but I found this.

Sorry I cant help anymore, Ive not setup a child account just my own.

Thanks DCFC79, I've had a look at that. Checking my account details I appeared to have moved to the United States without realising. I've update my details & will have another go tomorrow at setting up a child account. Thanks for you reply

Don't do what ? Setup Xbox live

It's perfectly fine if you take the proper procedures eg don't link a credit/debit card to the account and don't buy subscriptions via the xbox, buy all subscriptions from sites like cdkeys.

If you do have a credit/debit card on the account use a security feature eg a button combo or a PIN if you have that option.

Try cdkeys.com for xbox live gold membership. No need to link the account to a debit/credit card.

Exactly what I said.
