How long do you think it'll take them to realize their slipup? :laugh:

i just tried and i've got two already
it's really easy to just choose 'create new account' whenever you start.

well, to answer my own question...
the 2gb account still will show the sig thing at the bottom of the email.

what's the deal? We should have the space already. How long is it going to take? Anyone hear anything?

I was reading around a few days ago. There are banners that say sign up for a free increase but it is false, only 2gigs for $20/year is able to be signed up for. It said that this Autumn (sp) free members will get the upgrade. It is a bunch of BS, the email at the begining of the month said "later this month."

 

[Pocatello]

Still 2MB limit for me. But I already have a Yahoo account.

 

[bigbangtech]

I signed up for a 2GB account through MSN Explorer and had 2 gigs for about a week. My friends told me that their emails are bouncing from me. I check, and it's back to 2MB of space haha

well its august. looks like hotmail chickened out.

 

[KFCrispy]

i read the article that hotmail sent out about the upgrade and i got the impression that it was starting in the Fall. so maybe september or october. i don't remember the article words though

 

[KFCrispy]

sorry double post

Just received this from Hotmail:

Dear MSN® Hotmail® Member:

As a valued MSN Hotmail Member, you will receive your storage upgrade automatically in the coming days. Over the month of August we will upgrade the storage capacity of your e-mail account to 250 MB - that's 125 times your current storage limit! We will also increase your attachment size from 1MB to 10MB. This means you will be able to store and attach more than ever and it's free!

But that's not all. Last month, we upgraded your e-mail account's anti-virus protection. This makes MSN Hotmail, the only free global e-mail service that both scans and cleans incoming and outgoing email for viruses and worms.


We'd like to thank you for being a valued MSN Hotmail Member and look forward to telling you about even more exciting changes to your Hotmail e-mail account in the coming months. In the meantime, we hope you enjoy your new larger inbox!

Thank you,

MSN Hotmail Member Services

kudos to yahoo for being to pull off the 100mb upgrade so fast.

//krunk (^_^x)

 

[spanky]

i got my upgrade to 250mb, but my friend is still stuck at two. i guess it's a slow and gradual transition?

 

[jcwagers]

Me too. It's nice to have 250mb. Hopefully they'll finish upgrading everybody soon.

 

[Aravot]

One of my accounts upgraded to 250MB

 

[M12]

Whats taking them soooo long.

My @msn account is still at 25mb and my hotmail is still at 10mb. (Verizon customer) I want space!

 

[lokiju]

Woot I got 2 GB now, I'm a paid subscriber, I did that a long time ago to keep them from deleting my old messages, I've had my hotmail account longer than any other account, was actually the first e-mail account I ever had. I'm more than happy to pay $19 per year for 2GB of storage, no ad's, 20MB per message, and no worries of my account being deleted because of being inactive.

 

[jck8r]

It truly is awesome how they upgraded the storage limit. Cheers to GoOgLe's E-mail! :beer:

 

[Raj]

thats great, they finally started doing the upgrades. still waiting on my upgrade.

still at 2mb
