Bt internet email address

BT used to let you keep any email address if you paid or not. However due to cost savings any email not attached to a broadband account or current dial up account will be ceased unless you pay £1.50 a month to keep it.

Dunno about that - I left their broadband service in 2005 and it's been "dial-up or pay-up" since then.

Bt now clamping down
As i said they used to just let you keep the email but now BT are stopping non paying accounts.

I have a niece in UK with a BT landline not attached to any email addresses, do you think I could attatch our email addresses to her account? our surname is different to hers though! Your thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks xx

If you are happy with BT's service and the only reason you are moving ISP is because of their non-competitive pricing policy then give them a call first. I did and they have discounted my line rental/broadband pricing by more than £10/month (option 2). In this climate even the biggest companies will haggle to protect their market share. :T It does no harm to ask and the call is free to an 0800 number!

Thanks for your reply Costcontroller, It is not because I am changing ISP purely that I now live in France but wish to retain my valuable (to me) email address, I do not have a landline in UK presently, I just want to if at all possible avoid paying the 1.47 per month that BT want to charge me for keeping my email addy.
thanks xx
