[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1827292, member: 396914"] I can understand the carriers' position, but I admit I'm confused by what is happening here. Is TalkTalk offering (up to now) free or PAYG email and broadband? Is the issue now that they want to restrict that broadband to contract, taking it away from PAYG? If so, what is left for PAYG? I use PAYG when I visit the UK because 1) I don't want to be on a contract when I only need the service for about 4 weeks/year and 2) they won't let me contract because I don't have a UK address or credit card. Right now I have an EE SIM card and an account at EE that will accept my US credit card, so I top off my PAYG account the week before we leave for UK and activate it after landing there. Easy and simple. I'm also curious how you transferred your old email address to TalkTalk or between broadband/mobile providers. I haven't been able to do that, but I have a mail-forwarding service that lets me keep my same public email address whilst changing the forwarding address when I've moved/changed providers/carriers.
