Keep The Email adress?

[the_baker]

hello, i have a 4mb/s telkom line with a 1.5GB cap, which sucks now im ready to buy the Mweb 4mb/s uncapped to replace my one now, but i have a problem, how would i be able to keep my @telkomsa.net email adress?

i cant really afford to lose it, and i dont mind taking out one of those 3G or whatever accounts that plug straight into my laptop so i can take it around, as long as i get my email there.

it doesnt have to be fast, or have alot of credit, i need like a 50MB a month for email and a really slow connection seeing as that is alllllll it will be doing...

so any help would be appreciated...

You can probably just change your account. I've had a Telkom address for years - pay something like R150 a year. For the same reasons you mentioned.

At OP. I'm giong the same route as you, I have @vodamail e-mail address.

I'm lucky coz I can kind of afford to loose it so I will notify everyone of a pending e-mail address change. What I have done is register a domain name, and will create an e-mail address through MWEB for that domain name (which I intend to hopefully keep). This opens the door should I change again oneday, I just move my domain and e-mail to another ISP (should the need arise).

Judging by the fact you need the address you currently have leads me to assume you run a business, so why not register a domain with your company's name - it's just so much more professional and not as expensive as you would think

Try Google Apps and register a domain through them. If you have a domain already then point the settings in your DNS control panel to the settings specified in Google Apps. It is much better and you have access to your email on any device, docs are stored in the cloud, meeting reminders are sms'ed

The website is www.google.com/a

Contact Telkom. Explain that you are going to end the ISP part of the adsl, but that you want to keep your email address. They will then fax or mail you some papers that need to be completed. You will be charged R15.?? per address. That is it. You can then change to a new ISP, but your telkomsa.net address will still be functional.

I was going this route a couple of months ago and then changed my mind about the ISP.
