Moving House

[Simon Morris]

I'm moving house in about 2 weeks, what do I do about 'moving' my email address with me?

(As you can see I'm an End-User and have absolutely no idea about such cumpewtur technical marvels - give me a rizla paper and a set of points and I'll be ok..)

Apologies,

nothing, it's not linked to your physical address. nor is your ISP account unless you are on broadband.

if you are on BB, and always supposing BB is available where you are moving to, then you will need to get a "cease & provide" on your account. talk to your ISP.

If you are on a modem dial up account then most ISPs use caller id. to verify that it is you dialling into the account (same technology that 1471 uses).

You will need to contact your ISP to let them know the phone number at your new address if it is different. Many ISPs let you do this in the "my account" section of their website.

i forgot that possibility. above would only apply if you are on some kind of monthly paid dial up scheme, £14.99 for free eves/weekend type thingy say.
if your ISP charges are just the 0845 local rate per minute deal added to your phone bill you can dial in from anywhere without notifying them.

move to new house, get broadband. if it's not available there, move again

steptoe: B&B has an ampersand in it, BB doesn't

Thanks for the above, but remember I am dim on this.

Let me get this straight:

I'm on good old Pay As You Go internet/email via BT Openworld, so therefore I don't need to do anything when I move house?

short answer:

right

long answer:

when you move & fire up your internet connection in the new house your pc will still dial the same ISP on the same 0845 number.
the ISP gets 2 thirds of the revenue from the local rate call charge which will appear on your bt phone bill.

you do nothing.
