SBCGlobal and AT&T Emails Stay Active After Cancellation

For decades, SBCGlobal.net and AT&T.net email addresses have been used by millions of households for everything from personal messages to business correspondence. But what happens if you cancel your AT&T internet or wireless plan? In the past, that question caused stress for many long-time customers who worried about losing access to their email accounts.

Now, there’s good news! AT&T has confirmed that users can retain their @sbcglobal.net, @att.net, or other AT&T-provided email addresses permanently, even after canceling related services. There’s no need to fill out forms, pay extra fees, or migrate accounts to a new platform.

The policy ensures that former AT&T customers can continue using their long-standing email addresses without interruption.

This change reflects a broader shift in the telecommunications industry, where service providers are recognizing the importance of digital identity continuity. For many, email addresses aren’t just tools; they are personal brands, linked to financial accounts, medical records, subscriptions, and professional contacts. Losing one can mean a major administrative headache.

The emails themselves are now managed via Currently.com, AT\&T’s updated online portal powered by Yahoo. The platform offers familiar features, including inbox management, spam filters, and mobile app support, providing users with a modern interface while maintaining access to their trusted email accounts.

For those who have stayed with @sbcglobal.net addresses since the early days of dial-up internet, this move brings reassurance and convenience. Whether you’re switching internet providers, moving to a new location, or cutting down on bills, you can now do so without worrying about losing your email connection to the world.
