Question

Which free email service to use to send lots of emails?

Mar 16, 2015 1:58PM PDT

I have lots of emails to send to alert concerned individuals.
I don't want to jeopardize my msn email account because there are too many things in it.

I signed up for Yahoo accounts, but Yahoo disables those accounts once they sent too many emails. I tried to sign up for an aol account, but the signup page doesn't accept a Hong Kong mobile phone no.

Which free email services are honest and would meet my need? Please provide links. Thanks!

But don't want to pay

Thanks James, but want a free service. Any suggestion?

All free services are rate limited.

It's because of the spammers this is the way it is.

As to your phone signup issue, why not use your PC? Or a friend's PC?
Only those that don't want to make it happen would craft such an excuse.

I can't guess why you are still fighting with this one.

Care to share what's going on?

Yahoo needs phone no. now
Mar 17, 2015 10:48AM PDT

I remember a few years back Yahoo didn't require a mobile no. to sign up, but not now.

In any case, as I mentioned, "I signed up for Yahoo accounts, but Yahoo disables those accounts once they sent too many emails."

Sorry but that wasn't true here.

Something fishy about your posts. In your other post you mention HIDEMYASS and more.

It appears you are trying something strange. No one can help you if you hide the details.

Yahoo accounts
Mar 17, 2015 12:37PM PDT

In the other post, I asked for new IP addresses because I suspect, but don't really know, Yahoo tracks my IP address and uses that info to affect my Yahoo email activities.

Because of my problem with Yahoo, I posted this thread about getting service from other free email providers. Hope I've cleared my name.

Still something untold.

Good luck in your quest. I can't guess why you are having such troubles.

....allow free voice signups? Check that out. I got mine when it was free, and so far it still is, but need to use it once in a while to keep it active now.

Just last month did the Google Hangouts for calls.

No phone number here but I used my old gmail account.

The OP is being secretive here. My bet is they want to spam.

Most mail Email services
Mar 18, 2015 10:24PM PDT

allocate each user so much space for their emails and once you reach that amount save anymore. The solution is to delete unimportant emails after they are read. I also use folders to must the email i want to keep in specific folders. You can setup emails on Outlook.com, Gmail.com and I bet your internet provider has email functionality.
