Choose the telephone option and dial the automated activation line. Make
sure you are in front of your pc when you call and that your pc is 'on'. You
will need to input a set of numbers into your telephone keypad once you are
connected to the activation line ( the numbers will be displayed on your
screen when you click on the 'telephone activation' option. The automated
line will then give you another set of numbers to type into the dialogue box
on your screen. If activation fails then 'stay' on the line and you will be
transferred to a 'real' person who should be able to help you.
