I have SBC/Yahoo DSL.
After I got the DSL service, I inquired about merging my yahoo.com e-mail with my sbcglobal.net email. I pointed out that I wanted a steady e-mail and that, when I would discontinue service, I would like to still have my yahoo.com e-mail. I was assured that it would not be a problem if (1) I got my yahoo email first, then (2) merge it with an sbcglobal sub-account.
Apparently, this is not the case. If you merge mail, then later discontinue the DSL service, you have to pay $9.95 per month to "maintain" your yahoo e-mail. It says so in the fine print just as your about to merge the mail. The e-mail that was once free now costs $9.95 a month! That sucks. If you don't pay up, then the e-mail account is lost for-ever!
My best bet, now is to continue the service with a dial-up for $9.95 a month, since I have 6 merged e-mails and I used one on all my resumes.
T.H.
