Similar story here. My premium mail has less features now than my free a/c & has no Android App for my fone, unlike the free Yahoo mail. Like you, I have also registered other domain names with GoDaddy as they are cheaper. I've had a problem with an ftp file manager default for 5 years and complain every year but never a response! (I don't phone as I am in Australia.) I'm looking elsewhere, too. At least I know it's not just me! Thanku for sharing this.

Typing the number into Google points here: I discover that my irreplaceable time service number was scrapped 4 years ago! Geeze: do I feel like Rip-van-Winkle! What a long freakin nap! What'd I miss? I don't have a cell phone, and I am not in front of a computer all of the time: so I RELIED upon this service and its legendary "to the millisecond" accuracy (a couple of times a decade at least ;p ). (Especially when I NEEDED Accuracy!) I dumped at&t last month for a local/long distance phone from my Cable TV provider and saved big bucks. And finding out this bit of sad news today makes me very happy that I canned their crappy (dis-)service forever last month: and I hereby resolve to NEVER subscribe to ANY at&t service ever again! When they were AT&T they were like a monolith: a rock of Gibraltar. Then they splintered and fragmented and spun off and sub-divided until today they have no solidity: a pile/puddle of stinking sinking quicksand! They HAVE shot themselves in the foot! You are Right: that number is solid gold! and they are wasting it. (retards) Here it is April of 2011 and I dial 853-1212 for the CORRECT Time and get a “disconnected” message instead.

It's fantastic how cheap (free) it is to operate even modest sized companies based on services and applications from the big G. Even though I dread waking up one morning and Google has decided to suspend my account, I really don't see much of an alternative anymore (perhaps I've been using them for too long). Hey Ken

Good to see that you are now on the Google Wagon :) .

It’s fantastic how cheap (free) it is to operate even modest sized companies based on services and applications from the big G.

As long as I got internet connection I can control my empire anywhere in the world :) Gmail works much faster (and user friendly) than outlook, just the other day another consultant with a client showed me that outlook was taking up 4.5GB memory on his 8 core 8gb IBM laptop... How can an email app take up 4.5GB memory?! Google rules when your a small start up (and even medium sized business). I’ve only used google apps for the last couple of years in my business.
