Are BT really closing accounts tomorrow because I know of quite a few people using talk21.com email addresses who have not been contacted about the 14th April 2014 deadline?

Are BT really closing emails tomorrow?

When I clicked on the link on post 96 of this thread it states that some email addresses end tomorrow however I don't see bt.com in the address bar?!?

Bumping this, as it seems the time has come. April 14th is the deadline to secure your Email address, if you are no longer a BT Customer (but still use a btinternet/btopenworld email account):

Hence the 'phishing' reference. Calm down Jo. Tomorrow, the sun will rise, the country's economy will still be in the toilet, and BT's 'talk21' email address will still work... :rotfl:

There do seem to be a selection of people on the BT Forums asking about emails with the 14 April date, and the consensus looks to be that it's a real date.

As with post 1 in this thread, BT don't help by not actually posting this on their website (or at least if they have, it doesn't seem easy to find).

Well what do you know. The sun did indeed rise this morning, the economy is still in the toilet, and 'talk21' still works - have a great day!

Changing the BT email service - product closures


Our basic email services have now closed

Our basic email services closed on 14 April. These services include BT Basic Mail (also known as Talk21) and Pay-as-you-go (PAYG) @btinternet.com and @btopenworld.com email addresses.
If you're affected, we’ve already contacted you with the date of closure, and told you what you need to do to keep your email service.
If you haven't done anything about this yet, you need to do it as soon as possible. We're going to start closing things down in the next few days so we can't guarantee how long your email service will continue to work.

What about tomorrow and day, week, month after ?

I know last year they cancelled closure 3 days before planned date on 16/9/13 & sent notification email on 13/9/13

Do you have talk21 email address ?

I have btinternet addresses & moved them to BT Premium Mail Service.
