I had my business phone disconnected. I did not know think about the email address that had been attached to it for 35 years. O bother

I did the chat link with my phone provider and they are reactivating it. Took an hour, but way better than the trying to contact everyone I had it linked to. I have a gmail that I use for other stuff.It's not really "attached". See if it still works. Cablevision here will keep your email going indefinitely when you leave them. But still, that possibility was why I have my own domain with email as well as a gmail account.

Haven't you been trying to retire for quite a while. Looks like you missed a golden opportunity to make a clean break.I did the chat link with my phone provider and they are reactivating it.

Clean break...that's funny. The paper work involved is enough to drive me nuts. Final notices to 30? different agencies. Moving sh stuff I want to play with. Putting it away. Selling, giving or throwing away the rest. Taxes alone will be next year.Haven't you been trying to retire for quite a while. Looks like you missed a golden opportunity to make a clean break.
Hindsight.Just my 2 cents, given how valuable it can be to your business your email address should not be owned by anyone but you.
Indeed. Business email should always be done through a domain that you own and control.Just my 2 cents, given how valuable it can be to your business your email address should not be owned by anyone but you.
I am disappointed. I saw the thread title and was expecting something like, "Ive got an excavator, a building that needs to be demolished, a 12 pack, and all weekend....."
Lol I actually considered and almost posted that quote!
I agree. When I see a business with a gmail account, I think less of it immediately. I admit it is a prejudice, but there it is.Just my 2 cents, given how valuable it can be to your business your email address should not be owned by anyone but you.
Good point but something to think about in the future.Hindsight.
What I find even more annoying is when a business website links to their Facebook page. There are still some of us who are not on Facebook.I agree. When I see a business with a gmail account, I think less of it immediately. I admit it is a prejudice, but there it is.
My office help put up a page. She's gone and now I need to figure out how to shut it down. Bother.What I find even more annoying is when a business website links to their Facebook page. There are still some of us who are not on Facebook.
