The …@hotmail.com.au domain is now available for Australians to use as an email address! However,  there is a little workaround needed to get there, but it works just fine:

  • Go to www.hotmail.com
  • It will redirect your URL to some ‘login.live’ etc. – note the end of this address is en-us (or en-gb, etc.)
  • Change this ending to en-au.
  • Let the page reload, and then ‘Sign Up’
  • Now in the drop down box ‘@hotmail.com.au’ is available to choose!

For our friends and neighbours from New Zealand, just use en-nz to access hotmail.co.nz addrerss registrations.

Better get in quick, because names are going fast.
