When attempting to upgrade to Hotmail Plus, this message window appears:
“No ads, more storage
You get more with Hotmail Plus, but it looks like it’s not available in your market.... but if you‘re able to pay with U.S. dollars, you can still get it—for only $19.95 a year.”
I was born in Tennessee and lived my entire life in the United States with a current address since opening the Hotmail account in Searcy County, Arkansas. The Hotmail Plus Billing agent who instructed me by phone to appeal to the Community, said that I was correct to be concerned since that message is displayed to accounts owned by users in other countries; Canada was specifically mentioned in the phone conversation. I am a writer with a home office using the account with business contacts.
Can you determine if my live account, messages and manuscript attachments have been intercepted or otherwise compromised?
Thank you.-- Pat Winter
I have a Hotmail plus account which does not renew until January 2013. I have an additiona email account through my web site and I wanted to be able to send and receive email from that account through hotmail. After I attempted to set up the account, my hotmail account display changed. It is now showing ads in a sidebar and it asks me if I want to upgrade to Hotmail Plus.
This is NOT acceptable. I pay for an ad free email account and there is no reason I should be seeing this ads. I contacted billing, but they said it was a technical issue and to use this forum for the answer/solution with the subject line above.
Please advise ASAP as this is extremly annoying and should not be occurring.
