There was once a time where it was a lot more common to get an email address through your internet provider, or IPS provider. This isn’t so common a service anymore, and only a few providers offer it now, Spark being one of them.
For example, Spark offers all broadband customers an Xtra Mail for free until 15 May 2024. However, from 16 May, it will be an extra $5.95 for their broadband customers.
If you are looking at other internet providers email services, be sure to check and check again, the terms and conditions of this service. You don’t want to be tied to a particular internet provider. Having the freedom to switch as you please, and make savings, is an important part of healthy budgeting. You don’t want to be subject to loyalty tax.
We would recommend moving away from your ISP email and sign up for your own email address from a web-based service, from a major email service provider such as Google or Outlook. The good news is that signing up to these services is FREE.
If you don’t want to be tied down to an internet provider, and pay for an email address, there is a simple process to switching to a free email address.
You can now enjoy the freedom of your own email address that you don’t have to pay for, and that doesn’t tie you to a certain internet provider.
