Large broadband companies with 100,000s customers who collect free service and force people to pay 60 GBP fees

Talktalk began sending customers by e -mail last month to inform them that their e -mail account is closed if they do not register with the new provider.

Users who do not join Allmail lose their existing e -mail address, their inbox, their contacts and the calendar.

Those who register can maintain these services must pay a fee of £ 5 per month or 60 GBP per year.

The change will affect thousands of people who received a talk talk -E email when they first registered with the broadband company, but later switched to another provider.

Talktalk gradually closes the inlet of customers who do not register next a few months.

It will begin after July 31 to limit the customer's e -mail access, which means that you cannot send e -mails, but can still access those you have already received.

Those who do not register until September 9th frozen But it is not yet deleted.

But after October 31, your e -mail mailbox and your account will be deleted as a whole.

As soon as the accounts are deleted, it is not possible to restore them.

All e -mails sent to the account are automatically returned to the sender.

Talktalk said it would contact users several times before their account is closed.

Either you are asked to take measures to keep your e -mail address or download important data that can be transferred to another e -mail provider.

A talc talk spokesman said that the changes “will ensure the best user experience”.

They added: “We actively communicate with all those affected. We offer several options and users can download and transmit their data.”

Free e -mail provider

Is it concerned that your e -mail is bound to your internet provider?

There are many excellent free e -mail services that you can use instead.

Here are some popular decisions:

Examples are:

  • Mail: Google's offer is sufficient with a lot of memory and excellent spam filtering. Integrated seamlessly into other Google services.
  • Outlook.com: The webmail service from Microsoft offers a clean surface and integrates into Microsoft Office apps. Good memory options are available.
  • Yahoo! Mail: A long -standing provider with a large storage capacity. It contains an integrated news feed.
  • Proton mail: Proton Mail offers end-to-end encryption for this priority of privacy. In Switzerland it has strong data protection laws (free but limited storage).
  • GMX Mail: Offers a good balance between functions and storage space. Includes a spam filter and virus protection.

In his e -mail to affected customers, Talktalk also gave instructions for free downloading E -Mail data with which customers can transfer their e -mails to another provider.

This includes e -mails that you have sent or received, have saved contacts, calendar appointments and tasks.

Which other providers have changed your services?

Talktalk is not the only broadband provider that is sufficient for his free e -mail service.

Plusnet started its e -mail customer on a new platform in May.

Customers with existing plusnet -e -e -mail addresses and inboxes will be migrated to a new provider named Greenby by the end of November.

As soon as the switch is complete customers at the time of migration with Plusnet -Widenband, Greenby will receive two years free e -mail service.

Customers who no longer have a migrant account over Plusnet will only receive 30 days of free service, according to which they have to pay 15 pounds a year to Greenby.

When customers unsubscribe, they lose access to their plusnet -e mail account.

It is always a good idea to use a free independent e -mail provider to avoid the effort to change E -Mail services when replacing broadband providers in the exchange Future.

Last year, the SUN company also announced that it will no longer offer the existing customers as soon as the analogous service is eliminated by the end of 2027.

This means that customers who still want a landline in the future will be forced to switch to another telephone provider who offers a digital service.
