Why do I still have to pay Telus for email when they've handed my email account to Google Gmail?
I've been paying over $15 per month for Telus webmail (2 email addresses) for years...although most email services are free. Now they've migrated the accounts to Gmail. Can I stop my monthly payment...
If you want free email from Google then you need to get a gmail account [email protected].
If you want to continue using [email protected] then you need to pay or be a TELUS Internet customer. TELUS pays Google to run the telus.net mail service, it's not free to TELUS as it would be for individual gmail accounts.
For about $7 per month TELUS will provide an email address, people usually use this as a temporary transition measure when they move from TELUS internet to another provider.
Yes email is "free" if you have TELUS internet.
