ChickenHawk 0 Posted June 9, 2002 I like to play on MS network gaming zone, eagerly awaiting CFS3. But I will have to pay to play right? As it wont let you on without a hotmail account thingy. WTF. Is nothing sacred? http://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/sci/tech/newsid_2031000/2031026.stm Hotmail has joined the growing ranks of web companies that are starting to charge for formerly free services. From mid-July users wanting to check their other e-mail accounts via the Microsoft backed service will have to pay a fee to do so. The move could irritate many of the reported 110 million Hotmail users who before now have managed all their e-mail accounts via the site. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dayglow 2 Posted June 9, 2002 The charge is for managing other email POP3 accounts through the web service, ie I have a shaw.ca web address from my ISP, so if I want to manage that email account through hotmail I have to pay. The web based email is still free. COLINMAN Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Die Alive 0 Posted June 9, 2002 If you sign up for hotmail today, it's really difficult to find the option where you get the free hotmail, they're really pushing the "pay email" where you get more storage and larger attachments. To get the account free, there's like one small link at the bottom of the page where you got to look through huge amount of adds of the pay email first. -=Die Alive=- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InRange 0 Posted June 9, 2002 In any case, I'm never going to pay a dime for using Hotmail. I'd rather have no Hotmail at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sadico 1 Posted June 9, 2002 Hahahaha, no way in hell i'm gonna pay for hotmail! I only use hotmail because i like talking to my friends with msn messenger, but yahoo mail is a lot better than hotmail. They give you 6mb for free and i get no spam on my yahoo account.

WKK Gimbal 0 Posted June 9, 2002 hotmail is crap by all means. Every so called "improvement" they've made in it's design, has pushed more adds and shite in our faces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
