Xbox Game Pass Error Message

I got a new broadband package that included 12 months of Xbox Live Game Pass. I've received the email with the code and I've tried for a few days but receive the error below:

We're sorry the system is down for maintenance, you can submit your activation request by calling us on 0330 1234 150 choose option 1 and then option 2.

The phone number is automated and the options are to do with a fault on broadband rather than their site so I get nowhere.

I've googled and seen a few posts like this dating back over a year so seems like it's a common issue where BT purposefully make it difficult to claim the game pass. 

Any ideas on another way round this to get it activated?

when was your activation date?  you need to wait until the 14 days cooling off has passed and if still no 'content partner' in MYBT then try billing 'message us'  https://www.bt.com/help/contact-bt/account-and-billing/broadband
