if you switch from sbc dsl to comcast, is your email account still active?

or do they shut it down? i'm going to switch in about a month, but i don't want to lose my sbcglobal.net email address.

seeing as the SBCglobal runs on their networks, it's most likely cancelled.

They probably hold it for awhile 1-3months before they delete it.
They did this with me on Roadrunner.
I cancelled, the closed my email accounts, and I'm on earthlink on Roadrunner, but no "rr.com"

e-mail sbc and ask. they may let you if keep it if you request it first.

you lose it after a month or so. that's what happened to me when i stopped using SBC DSL. it may have been possible to pay a monthly fee to keep it, i can't remember. but they don't just let you keep using it.
