TalkTalk going to charge for Email Access

Have received an email from TalkTalk that as I don't have a broadband contract with them I either have to sign up with them, or pay a monthly fee of £5 or annual £50 for continued use of my email address. I was a customer with them for internet access years ago hence why I have email addresses with them. Else in 2 weeks I will have limited access and then in a couple of months they will begin to delete email accounts. Has any one else had this email? And how can they do this?

You've been getting a free service that is usually charged for. £50 isn't much if you really want that email or move over to a free service such as hotmail or yahoo.0 -
They can do it because they quite reasonably no longer wish to offer free services to ex-customers.0

See elsewhere on the forum.And how can they do this?
Quite easily.
BT operate in the same way.
Moral of the story: Don't use ISP email. This is why.
If you don't like it, Yahoo, Gmail, Outlook.com to name but three will do you email for free (and some adverts).0 -
Do you think they should continue to provide you with a service for free indefinitely because you were once a customer?Growingold wrote: »And how can they do this?Proud member of the wokerati, though I don't eat tofu.Home is where my books are.Solar PV 5.2kWp system, SE facing, >1% shading, installed March 2019.Mortgage free July 20230 -
Hi, I am in the same boat, willing to pay £50 but system won't accept my password. Am stuck and dreading losing all of my emails. Any suggestions please.0
