This method makes your inbox 25 mb at the first step and in a month or so, it's supposed to become 250 mb. So here's the step-by-step procedure for the - well, not anymore - unlucky non-US hotmail users:
1. Sign in to your hotmail account and change your personal profile in the Options as following:
Country: United States
State: Florida
Zip Code: 33332
Needless to say, you need to enter the zip code that belongs to the state you've chosen.
2. Then get to the Language options and make it English if it's not.
3. Before signing out, paste the link below into the address bar and click enter to "Close my account". Thus your account will be deactivated.
