MSN Hotmail: 250mb?

briano

Has anyone actually had their account upgraded to 250mb yet?

The Insider

No...and I have been waiting for months for the upgrade. Have been holding off using my gmail account for my primary email, was going to switch in the summer then I heard about the Hotmail upgrade and I held off... but still on a lousy 2 mb! :mad:

Ciaran500

I've heard lots of people already having it updated, but I'm still waiting.

Frank Spencer

do u have to request it??

Zombienosh

i'd say u have to pay for it......
its still 2mbs.....

www.walla.com free 1gb mail

MSN announced they would be upgrading all the free accounts to 250mb for free.

I'm gonna email them over it now.

The Insider

Let us know if they reply would you?

Occidental

Yep. I know of two people who are now at 250mb and both without requesting it.

Apparently they are introducing the upgrade according to when you signed up to hotmail, so if you signed up say 10 years ago you should have it by now. Cant be sure of this though!

My mate has a Brit acct and he has had 250mb since June, I have been waiting about 6 mths and still no sign......
I am half thinking about quitting hotmail and migrating to Gmail.
although www.gmail-is-too-creepy.com is kind of throwing me a bit.

Getting increasingly irritated with "warning you are approaching your limit" everytime I have to delete the spam from my hotmail a/c that M$ are too crap too filter out.

I've switched most of my mail diversions to g-mail. Might switch them all over soon if they don't cop the hell on.

Have to say it.
In the unlikely event that anyone 'falls off the wagon' and wants a gmail account, PM me

Zombienosh

well after that google watch thing i think ill stay with the walla.com place

pickarooney

I think it goes by whatever country you signed up from. Only the UK seems to have been upgraded so far.

ViperVenoM

aye got mine about 1 month ago..not like i will ever use 250mb in hotmail :rolleyes:

Peteee

Aye, am still on my 2mb here, and i must have signed up a good 5 years back

Use gmail now, is far superior

Am also getting sick of the whole 'google scans your email to put ads in it'

Yeah, because hotmail/yahoo dosent scan your email for virii or spam etc

I've actually found the ads useful, not like the hotmail *flash*flash*blink

Google watch is completly full of crap. It is run by a guy who use to spam google with those crappy fake link sites and got slapped for it.

It is about as safe and any other free online email site (or normal pop3 mail for that matter).

Well 3 of my mates went into options and changed there personal settings to uk and were upgraded to 250mb the week after. I did the same and I haven't been upgraded so ye may wanna try that and see if it works....

I signed up back in '97 and im still on the crappy 2mb,although all i get these days is newsletters and emails on how to make my dick bigger....
hurrah for gmail

briano

According to the inquirer, accounts based in the UK, Canada, US and Australia have been updated, but there appears to be no method to their madness.

Been using Gmail for a while now, would find it hard to go back, but some people still email my hotmail account. If anyone wants an ol' invitation send me a pm.


Ciaran500: any reply yet?

carrotcake

The Insider

Ciaran500

no, the u.s. when i signed up i used a u.k address, but msn.co.uk started showing up a few months ago (before the upgrade), so i changed it

The Insider

When ever anyone has a Hotmail account and complains that GMail is too creepy, I always remember this section from the Hotmail Service agreement:
