My dad works for an SBC Distributor/telecom interconnect and now they have to change all their business cards, trucks, and ads to say SBC. What a pain.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5774972 Sat, 25 Jan 2003 11:44:56 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5774091 Hall : I guess the $25/year it costs to maintain the domain is too cost-prohibitive !!

Or, and more likely, the company wants a "unified" name.

If you have it on your business cards, literature and stationary, it can get down right expensive.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5773539 Sat, 25 Jan 2003 08:08:52 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5772774 Xsk8er : @home, ATT.NET, Media one now Comcast cable is known to do this... "oooh sorry customers, but we are making you change your email address yet again.."

Glad SBC isnt as dumb.... :) Looks like Earthlink in the past has been simular in "we bought you but we'll let u keep your address as long as your a customer".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5772774 Sat, 25 Jan 2003 03:22:23 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5771836 AmeritecTech : I wasn't paying attention, and the post appeared to be sarcastic.

"SBC could have told us old @ameritech.net people to change our email to @sbcglobal.net"

as in, geesh, they could have told us that they were taking away our e-mail addresses. Anyhow, oops! I had just read a post from Eak, so I guess I was expecting something else. Sorry about that, Senor Geek!

My e-mail address is not grqdevcwq3421@dslr.net]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5771836 Sat, 25 Jan 2003 00:47:29 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5771800 RadioDoc : I think that's what he's happy about. :)

Netcom-Mindspring-Earthlink was smart enough to do that too throughout all those mergers and acquisitions. All of the old domains are still active.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5771800 Sat, 25 Jan 2003 00:43:54 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5771648 AmeritecTech : Your e-mail address remains @ameritech.net.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5771648 Sat, 25 Jan 2003 00:27:50 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5771328 mrgeek : With the change of Ameritech to SBC, the migration to SBC/Yahoo (if you choose) and the fact new DSL accounts at SBC end in @sbcglobal.net, SBC could have told us old @ameritech.net people to change our email to @sbcglobal.net, but they didn't. We all know what a pain it is to change, and for SBC to leave things be....thanks.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,5771328 Fri, 24 Jan 2003 23:53:18 EDT
