That's awesome if it works.
Where did you find this information?

Hey guys...

Thanks for the tip, it works great, except the zip code, your talking about doesn't work for me, but just use 10001 as zip code, then it works...

Just if anybody wanna use it...

works like a charm, except thing with the zip code problem at first... :)

Cheers!

Ummm I was under the impression you got 250MB by default to compete with Gmail and all the rest? :blink:

someone was claiming to have 1 gb of storage without paying anything or using a fake credit card number.
anyone heard from this?

my old account (7 yrs) upgraded to 2GB .... i didn't have to close the account to do that ..... but the new one(3 yrs) .... it's now 250 mb after closing/opening .... also i can use OE to check mail from the old one but new one doen't give access ... tells something about new premium signup

gmail.com has free 1gb storage.. if thats what you're asking? Would you like an invite?

I tried the trick 5 months back.......it only increase to 25MB......not sure if the increment to 250MB is based on the country user is in coz I surely didn't get 250MB......

Nonetheless, like above posters had said, there are other better email providers like Google and Yahoo..... :D

well it just up to 25 MB for me just like plop1
