What happens to my email address with my current provider?

That depends on who your provider is:



  • BT and Sky let you keep your old email indefinitely

  • Plusnet offers a mail-only package on request

  • Post Office deletes your address when you switch

  • TalkTalk lets you access your email address for 12 months, then deletes it

  • Virgin Media lets you access it for 90 days, then deletes it.
