Since youre still using the trial,  Just cancel the one youre using now (you can do this on the dashboard now.. don;t have to call),  And activate another 2 months card to create the new name.  

I believe the only way to change your name is if the name you chose  is racist, or very vulgar,  like "assf*cker" or somethin..  they make you change it or somethin.

just cancel (make sure, or they'll charge your credit card), and create the new one with a new card.

I just used halo 2 to send everyone a message saying "my gamertag is expiring, my new gamertag is Ali1O1 (used to be Ali101 :-D), so please add me to your friends list."

what a smart move......

And I LOVE your SIG!!!!

I'm guessing the above is correct, so ignore that (unless i'm wrong).

Final question is;

Thinking of buying a "Starter kit" so I can get the headset and my 12 month sub ready for after the trial expiry.

QUE: can I use the 12month code to purchase the years subscription after the 2 month trial ends on my new tag and keep that tag?

Thanks guys

So does buying one of those starter kits mean you have to create a new tag or???

not necesarily

you can link the additional 12 months onto the 2 month trial...  total of 14 months with the same name.

just go to account management > renewal > subscription code

(i think that's the path..)
