Just recently at a work i am currently at, i built the comptuer for them registered over the phone(took hours.....) etc.

Now all of a sudden its saying i need to re-register Windows XP, and for one I am NOT going to being Micro$oft again so they can charge 50cents a minute to my mobile. How can i shutdown this service, and note it says i have two days to do it in or it will cease to work.

Now to me ive done it once im not going to be doing it again..

How can i shutdown the service??

you can't and doing so be any other means would be illegal. Call from a work phone if you don't want the charge or activate online.

Im down at a glass 'factory' they have no need for the internet, and i was jsut more worried about the time it was going to take to ring up and register, because remember Time is money

and? You have your options. This thread has way too many opportunities to go down the piracy route.
