You can't activate without an internet connection or a phone call, if the
internet activation fails.

Sorry.

If one is at the end of the activation period (why did you wait?), there is
a method to delay activation a bit longer until you can get to a phone:

You found your way here so most probably you can find the way to activate the same way

And you all dare to call the Linux help forums obnoxious?

Now to the original poster.

Unfortunately, you really only have one single option. Call MS and beg
them to let you use their crappy product.

If you don't have a phone...you'll have to find one. Get a friend with
a cellphone to visit or something. Hate to say it but you're stuck
otherwise if the Internet activation fails.
