Problems with email after signing up for 'keep my email'

I am really frustrated and need some assistance. At the end of August I signed up with keepmyemail.com in order to allow all of my family members to keep their email address. A few days later I canceled the remainder of my Verizon services, and at that time confirmed that everything was all set with respect to keeping our email addresses. About one week later all of our email addresses were "suspended" and being bounced back to the sender. I could not send or receive emails.

I spent numerous hours (at least 10) on the telephone trying to get a resolution. I was transferred from one dept to another. Bounced back and forth between tech support and the "keep my domain" dept. Each person told me something different. I was given all kinds of crazy excuses, from being told everything was set up correctly to I never signed up to keep my emails. I was told that only the people in "keep my domain" could fix it, but they told me only Verizon could fix it. I finally got some it resolved on September 17th and all of the emails began working again. Unfortunately, I was not able to get any info on what was done to fix the problem, nor was I able to get any info on what emails had been rejected. The resolution was short-lived. At the end of September all of our emails again stopped working. When I tried to log on I was told "invalid username or password" This time the bounce back message said the email had been "temporarily disabled". I went through the same process again and again. One person I spoke to promised me that he figured out the issue, but the person who could fix it was already gone for the day. I was promised a return call the next morning - no surprise the call never came. Some of the customer service folks were very nice, but not helpful - some were worthless. One person even told me "there is no way to keep your verizon email address beyond 30 days" - he had no idea what he was talking about.

I have done everything that has been suggested - spoke to tech support; spoke to disconnect team; spot to elite team; asked for supervisors (which everytime resulted in me getting disconnected); spoke to keep my domain support; tried online "fix my email", etc.. This has been an ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE!

My family members and I have used our myname@verizon.net addresses for many years and in too many places to count. What do I need to do to get this resolved. Who can I contact via phone or email to get this resolved?

I am currently going through the exact same issue. Been on the phone with Verizon for 5 hours - being bounced back and forth between Tech Support, Verizon Core, Sales, Email and so on. i suspect this will go on for many more hours.

It just isn't worth going through this hassle. It's faster to just notify all your contacts to start contacting you on a Gmail address. This way if you ever change service again, or move, you never have to go through this again.

This is insane.

I purchased my domain name two weeks before my move. Received receipts and was told all is well. Once I moved they suspended my account. I can log in to the account but when I try to get to the emails I get an error message "Your account has been suspended contract tech support".

Tech Support couldn't help me and after being on the phone with him for an hour he disconnected me. I was talking to ID {edited for privacy} - this was after he promised if we got disconnected he'd call me back. He never did.

Verizon service truly sucks.

I am having the exact same problem. I signed up to keep my email on Verizon my domain knowing

that Verizon does not have internet or landline service in the area that we moved to. We

were assured both by Verizon and my domain on a 3 way call that the email would still be active after inactivating

the landline/internet. Less than an hour after getting off the phone on that 3 way call, my email and my husband's

email were not active. We both spoke to numerous customer service representatives and got transferred at least

10 times back and forth from Verizon and my domain and of course no one knew anything or how to fix it and only

knew how to transfer to someone else. They made the error very easily, is it that difficult to correct it? I have never

experienced this level of incompetence in my life!!!!

I am going through the same issue and after hours of talking to everyone at Verizon I am not making any progress. I have emails that state that I signed up correctly for keeping my family emails. I have been transferred to every department and assured this would be repaired. I was disconnected and sent to recordings that hang me up with no option to go elsewhere. My finances are tied to this email account and the college financing notifications are sent there. This could be very damaging if I can't get it fixed. I changed from Verizon but wasn't upset with them til this. I desperately need our emails returned as soon as possible so I don't miss payments or notifications I need to address.

I have read the previous messages re: problems with email after signing up for "keep my email" and am having very similar issues. I can't seem to get the proper assistance by calling verizon and am hoping that by posting this, I can get resolution to my problem:

I was a long-time verizon customer in Florida and was moving to Missouri (no verizon service). I wanted to keep my verizon emails for some period of time and after doing some research found out I could go to keepmyemail.com & pay $20 to keep my verizon emails for a year. I was told by verizon to do that in advance of disconnecting my service which I did on 12-5-13. I requested disconnect on 12-18-13. Unfortunately, once my service was disconnected, I lost access to my verizon email addresses & immediately called verizon. Here's where my huge frustration factor actually began: I confirmed with verizon's your domain support that my "keep my email" account was good - they told me that they weren't really verizon & that I would need Tech Spt to re-establish my email addresses. After being transferred around abit, I got to the correct Tech Spt but they couldn't see any info or do any work for me because my account was closed. The work-around was to re-activate service & then call back the next day, ask them to re-establish my email addresses & then close the recently re-activated account. I followed those instructions, got my emails back up on 12-19-13 but when I called to close that new account, my emails were lost again on 12-23-13. Back to the same frustrating phone calls, holds, transfers, explaining my situation many, many times. I got my emails re-established on 12-24-13 with the second re-activation & am now calling back to get my account disconnected. The verizon your domain support folks can see my account info & tell me it's all good. The other verizon folks are having trouble with what steps need to be taken to ensure I don't lose my email addresses again. I also don't want to pay for the extra charges associated with the two additional re-activations and couple of days of service for each of them. I'm hoping this current phone call today (12-31-13) to disconnect the second re-activation but keep my email addresses takes care of the problem (typing this while I'm on hold); the person who's helping me now seems to understand the issue!

I'm writing this to let verizon know what a mess this is ... and so maybe other customers won't have the same problems!

FLtoMO

I had great hopes when I posted yesterday - I was on hold trying to get my issue resolved and had a very professional individual who appeared to understand the issue and that my account needed to have the "Broadband Essentials and Extras" before being disconnected to ensure my email were maintained - but for a third time, my emails were lost when she disconnected my account. I can no longer call back and request assistance - every time the solution has been to re-activate service since the Tech Spt folks can't fix this issue when there is no account for them to "see" - while the Your Domain Support folks tell me that "all is good" and my account is up. Please have a Verizon Agent contact me as soon as possible.

This has cost me so much time on the phone ... time away from work ... email addresses that I paid to have for the additional year per Verizon's instruction. I've spoken to numerous Verizon customer service representatives who don't know which department should be taking care of this - some who are polite & professional and others who abruptly put me on hold and/or transfer me when I request a supervisor.

I did get contacted by Verizon in response to my post & had a live chat where I provided all the specific information they needed. They indicated that they would take my case for action & I do now have access to my email addresses. Unfortunately, I also have several bills for the two 're-activation' accounts that I was required to set up when I was trying to correct this problem by calling in. I no longer desire to call & try to get anything corrected - I would like someone to contact me again & resolve the bills that have been sent to me; one is for $66.25; the other is for $114.90. I was told that there would be no actual charges due for the accounts that had to be re-set up. Thank you.

I would like to Copy and Paste the exact same complaint you experienced and post it as my own! I am currently going through the same exact experience and it is yet to be resolved. It seems that KeepMyEmail and Verizon are definitely not on the same page. This whole procedure has been made entirely way too complicated than it should be. I am not exagerating when I say that I have spent close to 6-8 hours on the phone (having to take vacation days from work) with various people much the same way you have done. I'm currently paying $49.00 to keep my Verizon account just to be able to keep my email accounts working. This was at the suggestion of technical services after my KeepMyEmail account never kept my accounts. I lost access and lost all email on the server. THANK GOD! It was recovered after I re-up'ed with Verizon. I am completely frustrated! I will try this all over again in just a while. Wish me good luck Smiley Frustrated

Oh My - we are suffering through exactly the same problem. We have spent three hours on the phone just today with a bunch of useless departments who all can't help and have transferred us from department to department and back again. No one can help, no one seems to understand and no one wants to help.

We went through the same hassle of setting up a "keep my email domain" as we moved to an area that Verizon doesn't support but we didn't want to change our email address. We have a cell phone with Verizon so we can access the account.

When we sign in we get a screen that requires us to verify our account.

Account Change Verification

We recently received notification that you have made a change to your account. Please enter the Account Number or Billing Telephone Number to verify this change.

So we do that - provide our account number, our cell phone number and our last bill amount and the verizon web page tells us:

My Verizon

We are unable to process your request at this time.

Please try again later. We apologize for any inconvenience.

This has been going on for two weeks!!!!!!

The answer from the useless phone support is we will call you back during the week! ie how to ignore us. But calling during the week hasn't help us so far either. Verizon - if you don't want our business just say so and we will go else where. There is no customer service happening in this company - how does it stay in business.

I am having this same exact problem. I called verizon yesterday and after 45 minutes on the phone I was connected to a service agent that had a bad headset. The call kept cutting out, although I had spoken to two other people with no problems. Rather than consider the problem was with her phone, she simply hung up. I hope I can get a response to my issue with this thread.

SJM171

I have the exact same problem with my sub accounts.

I have received ZERO help after several times on the phone with Verizon support and the tech number thye gave me for keep my email goes nowhere.

I have sent my information by email to Billing@domains etc and I hope that this entry may provoke a response.

These email sub-accounts are critically important so I hop to receive a prompt response here.

BMG4ME1

I have a similar issue, my username@verizon.net was deleted and there seems to be no way to reactivate it

SJM171

NO RESPONSE to the email and NO RESPONSE here.

This is an unacceptable situation. I can't even find out where to cancel this service.

My next steps are to cancel the credit card payment and refer the matter to the Attorney General's office of Consumer Protection.

UPDATE for anyone reading this thread

I spent TWO HOURS + in a text session with a "specialist" yesterday and accomplished exactly NOTHING.

NO they cannot activate my two sub accounts.

YES I am SURE my confirmation letter says all sub accounts are included

NO they cannot cancel my order

and most infuriating of all NO THEY CANNOT CANCEL AUTOMATIC RENEWAL. THEY SUGGEST THAT I CANCEL THE CREDIT CARD I USED TO PAY THEM. Can they be serious?? I must cancel a card because they are incompetent scammers? NOT **bleep** LIKELY.

My next step is Corporate which, in NY is at 140 West Street in Manhattan. Also the Attorney General's Consumer Frauds Division. I suggest you all do the same in your respective states.

This entire "keepmyemail.com" is the worst sort of fraudulent scam.

rsek64

I'm having the same problem and getting really frustrated. I was given a phone number by the "your domain service" support team and I was told that I needed to contact another number. I called that number and got an automated message that referred me to repairmyemail.com. That didn't help. I need help!!!

ZRose1

I signed up for Keep My Email, and after i moved from my residennce that had Verizon, and I no longer have verizon high speed, i am not able to receive or send emails on my cell phone, or my outlook

I am however able to send and receive emails through webmail.

I have had several different Verizon tech support spend a combined OVER 10 hours trying to resolve this issue with no success.

I am getting an ERROR message that can't connect to the server, we have changed setting server MANY MANY times, and still NO resolution.

I am able to get my OTHER EMAIL ADDRESSES on my iphone and on my outlook -- that are gmail and YAHOO accounts

that are working without any problems.

UNFORTUNATELY my verizon email gets all my work emails, so I NEED THIS RESOLVED ASAP

I have not been able to get on OUTLOOK or my cell phone with my californiarose emails!

PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP as I NEED TO be able to get my emails on my iphone and on MY OUTLOOK (as this is the only way I send and receive all my work emails)

THANK YOU

I'm having the same problem as everybody else here. I paid the annual fee to keep the email address. My phone number ported over to the new provider and my email account was suspended. I called 8008374966 as directed and was referred to {edited for privacy} which isn't a number for live customer service. How do I get my email address back. I tried to do everything right.

ElizabethS

Hello mirwyi

Sorry you are having difficulty, an agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information to help you resolve your issue.Please remember to check your spam/junk folder if you do not hear from an agent.

Private message me please, the phone isn't yet ported and the email is dead.

I'm having the same problem. Moved to Italy 3 weeks ago. Want to check my emails, signed up, charged my credit card and cant get anything. Calling Verizon is a big issue from here. Impossible to dial 1-800 from Italy. Can't find any other contact # on the web site. Want to cancel everthing and get my money back. At least Gmail is FREE !!!!!!!!
