Phone bill,my son and I are in the same plan.he paid his phone,not mine and his phone still desactaivate

Your phone is probably listed as the primary phone, so if the bill was not paid in full, his phone was deactivated first. You'll have to talk to the phone service provider about fixing this, or trade phones with him.

When playing Halo Reach online I cant hear any friends in custom playlist. This is both in game and in lobby. If we join a chat party then we can hear each other fine though. When in matchmaking I can hear...

Depending on which type of chat session you are connected to... everyone needs to be in the same chat menu. Sometimes when switching from game chat to party chat you might still be stuck in game chat while others are in private chat or visa versa.

To talk to only players in your game: Press the Guide button, then select Party, Party Options, Chat Channel, and Game Chat.

To talk to only members of the party: Press the Guide button, then select Party, Party Options, Chat Channel, and Party Chat.

To mute an individual: Press the Guide button, then select Party, the player's gamertag, and Mute.

It is a possibility that you are not in the same chat session with your friends. they might be in a party chat with others while you are in game chat. (note you can only have a max of 8 people in one party chat) Or you might still be in a party chat (that everyone else has left) and they are in game chat.

My son managed to change password and now its locked, cannot get on internet, please help me

How old is your son? If he can talk, ask him what he changed it to.
If he can't, I recommend moving all your game data of whatever console you're on to an SD card or something else, and then resetting your console. Ask a question regarding what console your on's reset function, because I can't tell you each of them individually.

I can't hear people talk, but they hear me.

Check your mic settings

Had a similar issues where I couldn't always hear xbox live chat conversation. Sometimes it would work, other times it wouldn't.. not 100% sure why though.

Tried different xbox, different controller and different Turtle beach head sets with similar issues

Setting the mic output to speakers allowed me to hear what people were saying at the expence of not being able to easily control the chat volume with the analog volume control on the chat head set cable.

Hope this helps

How much do you charge?

Here there are both type of advice money as well as free.. If you are posting questions like this it is free of cost. If you want to talk to a expert live by means of text chat or phone support it is to be paid.

If you want to talk to an expert through live text chat it will cost you $20.
If you want to talk to an expert through phone it will cost you $30.

Meandscott:

This is quite an undertaking for a "beginner". Don't you have anybody that has some experience with this level of undertaking that would be around to coach when questions come up.. I'm not trying to talk you out of this, just trying to give you a small dose of "reality"

Good luck Loringh
