Then use the new ISP email or gmail to access them . So then you can choose any ISPs you want . You can still send email out using your old email address, just use the old email with the new isp's smtp server address to send out . Use the old pop server address to get mail . Might not work for all but it does work for mine, they keep on sending me invoices for a few years now with 5c credit . I only took up BB 4yr ago, I had 3GB cap before which was fine for me . For you I suggest maybe 10GB for the first month and then re-evaluate . We got 10GB now but I just switched my next month back to 3GB :) PS . If you go to a friends/family place maybe see if you can pop the mail while running on a diff ISP . Then if they allow you to (auto) forward emails - should be under customer login online - you are all set . . . . . :xmouth:	Nomad (952)
1156476	2010-11-30 06:51:00	aww thanks for that . . . . . . . . . i can see a mass email going out, and then a re set of email thingys for trademe, pf1 and the main pages i use and look at . . . . more madness, thats one of the reasons i was thinking of keeping Slingshot, but the night mare of the online stuff, and that newpaper article, and lots of people slagging it i decided to go back to xtra, and have one bill for the whole shebang and i am sorted . . . . . . :D i just cant beleive how fast it is from our slow dialup, . . . . but it costs twice what our dialup did . . . . :o beetle	beetle (243)

1156479	2010-11-30 07:38:00	I know beetle can send them as I got one here a little while ago. I have replied so that should tell us if she can receive I hope. :)	Snorkbox (15764)
1156480	2010-11-30 07:42:00	ok another stupid question . . . . . . . . . . . . do i leave this thing going or turn it off when i am not home etc? im presuming it chews up data all the time its on? never thought about these things before . . . . beetle :rolleyes:	beetle (243)
1156481	2010-11-30 07:44:00	I leave mine on. They don't chew up data per se, if nothing is connected to the box, nothing will go out, and nothing should come in. There is a small amount of back-and forth between the box and telecom, but it is so small, that it would total less than 5Mb in a whole month.	ubergeek85 (131)
1156482	2010-11-30 07:45:00	Your choice. It matters not but I leave mine on all the time so Win and Antivirus updates etc happen.	Snorkbox (15764)
1156483	2010-11-30 07:45:00	ok another stupid question............ do i leave this thing going or turn it off when i am not home etc? im presuming it chews up data all the time its on? never thought about these things before.... beetle :rolleyes: turn windows updates automatically download OFF and any other software that does that. in case it blows your data cap quicker. you can leave router on, i turn mine personally off at night some don't :D put it this way, if people in your household have their own computers, it would be a hassle to turn it on each time they wanna get online :D	Nomad (952)
1156484	2010-11-30 07:56:00	but if i leave it on till after my first month then wont i work out if i need to change my data usage ? :) Thanks beetle	beetle (243)
