| Yep... You prompted me to check my ATT email address and I had the same email. Checking my BS email address showed that I did not receive the email. So I am wondering if it is only those with the ATT.NET address. Or, they just have not gotten it out to the BS users yet. |

  Carl Premium join:2004-07-21 Krotz Springs, LA | Thanks for the reply. I'm on the road now (posting via BlackBerry) but when I'm at a computer I'll check my friend's BellSouth account... In fact, I would have never even gotten the e-mail if it hadn't gone to my BlackBerry first...LOL! |

| Gotta love the ole BB. Picked up a pearl in June and decided I needed a full keyboard. Didn't think I was going to use it that much, but you know how addictive it can be. So I bought a 8830 World Phone off eBay. Absolutely love it..
Just gotta find some good apps... But that is for a different thread. |
|
  Carl Premium join:2004-07-21 Krotz Springs, LA | Yep. I'm on a Pearl 8120 on AT&T right now, but I'm getting ready to switch to Verizon service. I didn't like how the keys on the Curve were, and I've had a Pearl since I had the 8100 so maybe I'm just used to SureType. But yep... Another thread! |

  wayjac Premium,MVM join:2001-12-22 Indy | I have to agree....after having a second look its not an invitation |

| reply to wayjac Nothing in that email mentions a portal page resembling the 'at&t Yahoo! HSI' portal page. I see that portal page at:
»att.my.yahoo.com/
Nothing about 'att.net' in that link. -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |

  wayjac Premium,MVM join:2001-12-22 Indy | Look at the email again I see "AT&T home page powered by Yahoo!"
For me that says it will resemble the page you linked |

 Current 'att.net' portal page. |  Current 'att.my.yahoo.com' portal page. |
On the one hand, it already does. On the other hand, I don't think they will be able to access email through »mail.yahoo.com/. More likely, the portal page will retain the URL, as in the one screen shot, and the "Mail" link will go to »webmail.att.net/.
I expect that only the "Powered by Yahoo!" will be the same.
But I could still be wrong. Is this going to be the end for the old SBC holdouts who never migrated? -- Norman ~Oh Lord, why have you come ~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum |
