Hotmail Accounts not free???

[MikeyIs4Dcats]

Are new hotmail accounts no longer free?

My gf tried to set one up and said it told her they are $19.99 a year now...

They must be free. Mine is though I've had it a while.

Everything Hotmail has and more ... except the big name.

Hotmail is still free. They don't make it obvious - during the signup process after you enter your preferred login name/password, it will tell you thank you for signing into Passport. Right after that is a screen saying "for only $19.99/yr, you get". At the very bottom of the page is a link for "CLICK HERE to get a 2MB account". That's the free one.

It is still free

Nope, still free. Just helped someone yesterday about it. Its hid at the bottom which is a common thing when premium accounts are offered as well. Here where to look for the free one

[GrumpyMan]

I use hotmail as my junk e-mail account due to all the advertising. They just try to make the selection less obvious for the free version.
