Found this on another forum and it works: 
In ten easy steps, which will take only a few minutes, you get 250mb extra storage room!
This worked for me but backup your e-mails and addresses first in case anything goes wrong.
1:
Log in to hotmail and go into ?Options?
2:
Go to the submenu ?my profile? and choose from the dropdown-menu/fill in the following:
Country: United States
State: Florida
Zipcode: 33332
(make sure the birthdate is set to a date/year which indicates that you are older than 13!!)
3:
Save the information and go back to the ?Options? screen
4:
Go to the ?Language? submenu
5:
Change the language to ?English? and save that information
6:
Click on this link
If that didn't work try this
or this
and press ?Continue? until you arrive to the ?Close Accounts? screen
ATTN Backup your e-mails and/or addresses just to be sure!!
7:
Now press ?Close Account? (your account will NOT be lost!! Read the following steps if you don?t believe me )
8:
Now go back to hotmail.com and log in with your old e-mail address and password
9:
Now you will get a message that your ?Reserved Account? has been activated.
DONE!
Or not?
Your ?Inbox? is now 25mb instead of the former 2mb or the 250mb I promised you.
If all went right, your e-mails and addresses will all still be there!
But why 25mb you ask?
You get an e-mail from hotmail.com:
This means that you?ll have an account for 25mb (still a lot more that 2, right?!) for about 30 days. Microsoft will bump it up to 250mb after that!
10:
Make sure you?ll keep the language, country, etc. settings as they are now.
After /Microsoft/hotmail bumps the 25mb to 250mb, you can change everything back to as it was (the language you prefer!).
So don?t forget to regularly check your Inbox.
And don?t forget: This does NOT mean you have an unlimited account!!
Your account will still be subject to deactivation after being idle for 30 days!
