Email Address

If my Son switches to Sky Broadband from BT, will he be able to keep his BT Email address.
Thanks.

    I don't know if it is still the case, but when I moved from BT a couple of years ago, I was told that I could keep my primary email account operational by dialling into their dial-up PAYG internet access number at least once every six months.

    IIRC, I did receive an email from them shortly after then warning me that it was about to be deleted.

    Have you checked the FAQ's on the BT broadband website?
  • they usually charge for the email but that was a few years ago.

    Have you considered getting a free email like gmail?

    It's about £12 a year or dial up every 3 months, I think.

    My Son needs to keep his E Mail address so will probably stay with BT.
