gamehead200 Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 Lately, some of my friends have been reactivating their accounts and everytime they log into their Hotmail account, it says that they have to pay $29.95, etc, etc...I don't know if some people know this, but, after you are done signing up for your Hotmail account, you press "Sign Up" as usual, then "Continue". Then after this, there is a button that says "Continue to Billing Information". Don't click that! ...Scroll down the page until you see "Types of MSN Hotmail Accounts". Now click on the link at the end of the paragraph in the second choice and you should continue on into the old process of signing up! Hope this helps some people!
FthrJACK Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 save yourself a headache and dont open a "please spam me" account altogether when the guy who built hotmail sold it to MS he made them sign an agreement promising to always offer free acounts. MS eventually thought up ways to get money off you anyway, as if they are short of cash or something.
gamehead200 Posted January 7, 2003 Author Posted January 7, 2003 Wat? I already have 4 accounts, why would I need another?
FthrJACK Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 i meant dont open a hotmail account.its just a spam dustbin.
gamehead200 Posted January 7, 2003 Author Posted January 7, 2003 Ohhhh!! I have one that receives almost no spam at all! Probably cuz I don't submit it to anyone...
Doggie Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 sounds like ur confusin hotmail and msn isp.. that price sounds pretty much the same as msn isp change.. neva seen a case of paying for hotmail
Conan Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 I've got a Hotmail account that I've never submitted to anyone, it gets spammed to death!
Drewdatrip Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 Just keep blocking entire mail extentions, example- @blblbl.comeverytime u get some spam..block..after about a year of doing this..i only get about 1 spam mail every few days.. =Drew
gamehead200 Posted January 7, 2003 Author Posted January 7, 2003 In my ISP account, I get about 100+ spam messages in my mail per week, all of which go to my SPAM folder (most of them...) !
FthrJACK Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 i get 0 spams to my isp mail also, if you ever sign up to anything, have your name set to something that identifies that site.eg, today i sgned up for an intel news letter, so in the name field i put nospamINTELif they sell my email addy on to other people i will know who it was, then mail them asking why and slap the data protection act at them.also, if you h ave unlimited mail addys on your webspace you could make a few mail addys that arent important to use only for list subscription and website use etc. then couple that with the above tip and you can always close the account too.. so they just get mail bounced back at them.
ThA_FiLeR Posted January 7, 2003 Posted January 7, 2003 I have my isp's email service and neva had any problems with it.. hotmail's a b***h.. what they do is.. a couple of weeks u be using it spam free then it'll start and more and more will come...
SolidWing68 Posted January 8, 2003 Posted January 8, 2003 So does this go to the people with @hotmail.com and @msn.com address's?
