Just a Question

[thommo16]

I am thinking of changing my ISP from Telstra to another carrier and was wondering if I could still keep my bigpond e-mail address.


Can someone help me ???


Thanks

I highly doubt it.

You might just be able to. I vaguely recall when I cancelled my bigpond account about a year and a half ago, Telstra offered to keep the email account going for me, even though they weren't my ISP. I turned it down though as I had never used them for email.

You might still receive email through them anyway. Other ISP's that I stopped subscribing to over three years ago still hold mail for me which I collect, although I can't send through them I can still receive.

Not sure if you can or not, however it would make sense if they let you keep it, as it's advertising for them.

Nup you'll lose the address.

I recommend Alphalink as an ISP, that's who we went to after we gave Telstra the @#$%.

Nope! The best you can do is keep the a/c open for a couple of months and ask them to forward email to a new email address. Once you are certain that everyone you know has your new details then close the Telstra account.

I still have my bigpond address, yet I haven't had Telstra for over 12 months.
