| FAQ: What Happens To My Email Address When I Change Internet Providers? |
|
If you cancel your AT&T Internet service, you can keep your (@sbcglobal.net, @att.net, @nvbell.net, etc.) email address.
If you have AOL and switch to high-speed internet, you can change to the "Free AOL" plan and keep your @aol.com email address as well as access to the AOL desktop program if you so choose.
On the other hand, if you have Charter Internet and you cancel your service, you lose your @charter.net email address. If you use their web site to view your email, you would also lose all saved emails. However if you use an email program such as Outlook, Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail, any saved emails would remain in that program.
I recommend that you get an email address independent of your internet service provider - such as Gmail - for instances when you want to switch.
It's also good to have more than one email address through a different provider as a backup -just in case there's a problem with your main provider. It's also a good way to separate email by using one account for correspondence with friends and family, and a different account for business, purchase confirmations, etc.
