What is going through the heads of the CEOs at AT&T? Why do you must change something that works perfectly good?
For an example, for reading emails, I depend on their net mail services: webmail.att.net/ for checking my bellsouth.net email. I have used this for my main source of reading my email and so I feel very comfortable with this idea.
Now At&t supposedly bought out yahoo (Sorry I don't keep up with companies buying out other companies) and now At&t is forcing their costumers to use Yahoo's emailing service instead of the service that they once have.
This is what their giving me for each time I visit webmail.att.net/ now:
Your AT&T Internet service account has been upgraded
Effective immediately, you should go to www.att.net (»
elportal.att.net for Spanish)
for logging into your AT&T Internet Service home page or webmail.
To avoid seeing this page in the future, and having to sign in twice,
please update your home page setting, favorite links or desk top shortcuts immediately.
You will automatically be redirected to the AT&T powered by Yahoo! login screen.
Before accessing your new home page and webmail you'll be prompted to:
1. Sign-in using your full AT&T email ID and password.
2. Update your home page profile information.
Get ready for a great new online experience!
With the new att.net home page, powered by Yahoo!, not only will you be able to create a unique home page experience, you'll also get a new email system and some great new features as well.
If you are not automatically redirected, Click Here to sign-in to your new AT&T home page.
So now I'm at »
login.yahoo.com/config/l ··· tner=sbcI type in my bellsouth.net email address with my password that I always use and the results are : Invalid password.
Please try again.
I find it hilarious because the password use to work on their other emailing service!
So much for having that "Get ready for a great new online experience!" Because I became more frustrated then ever!
Has anyone else had any issue with this new emailing "upgrade"? Now I'm force of talking to the damn costumer service rep.
I call this a "downgrade" instead of an upgrade. It seems more appropriate.
