WHO OWNS YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS?

Your broadband can change. Your email address shouldn't.
Your email address is more important than your broadband provider.

If you're using an email address like .com or .net, it's tied to a company that can be sold, restructured or change its services. If you switch provider, you could lose your email address or be charged to keep it.

That can be a real headache when your email is linked to banking, shopping, utilities, healthcare and family contacts.

A better option is an independent email service such as Outlook.com or Gmail. Your email stays with you, no matter who provides your broadband.

Need help moving to a new email address?

WE ARE STILL HERE!
I have had seven people approaching me in the street and 12 emails telling me that they were sorry Eildon Training & Consulting was closing down. Let me reassure you that the ‘To Let’ sign outside our office is advertising other premises that are available in the building.

Both Fiona and I are still here providing the same unparalleled computer support and training. Look out for our new courses launching mid-September. There will be something there for everyone.

I was happy to meet Debbie McGregor of Focus Together last week. The business is an independent, bespoke well-being service supporting people impacted by sight loss. As many of my clients experience sight issues, I know she will be able to assist and support many of Eildon's clients. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61591959563317
