sbcglobal.net email account after closing AT&T service

I've had my sbcglobal.net email account for a very long time, and I'd like to make sure I don't lose it after I recently canceled the last of my AT&T paid services. Is there anything I need to do to continue to keep my sbcglobal.net account? Thanks for any help.

We understand your concern with regard to sbcglobal.net email account , lets get the answer you need!

 

If you cancel your ATT active services, you can still continue to use our ATT email. it will be considered as free email.

Thanks so much for your response, Sarah. Just to be completely sure, the email I have is an sbcglobal.net domain, not AT&T. Will I continue to have access to it as well after I cancel all my paid services with AT&T? My understanding is that the sbcglobal.net is an AT&T managed account, though somehow it is also co-hosted with Yahoo. Thanks again.

Hey @dalece, let's walk you through the right path.

 

You can create an AT&T Mail account at Currently.com following the steps in our online guide.

 

There's no email switch option, but if you'd like to permanently delete your Sbcglobal account after creating your AT&T email, just follow these steps:

  1. Go to Profile.
  2. Open Contact info.
  3. Click the Email tab.
  4. Open the email account tab and click Manage.
  5. Click Next.
  6. Go to Member ID and choose Delete an account.
  7. Select Ok.

 

                Permanently Delete SBCGlobal Account (Optional):

    • If you’d like to eventually phase out your SBCGlobal account, you can follow these steps:
      • Go to your Profile.
      • Open Contact info.
      • Click the Email tab.
      • Under the email account tab, click Manage.
      • Click Next.
      • Go to Member ID and choose Delete an account.
      • Select Ok.
        Accessing Both Accounts
        :
        • If you decide to keep both emails, simply sign in to each account whenever you want to use it.
        • You can access both email accounts on the same mail client or different clients—it’s up to you.

Remember, this transition doesn’t have to be a hassle.
