NTLWorld.com to VirginMedia Email Address
 

I seem to remember that when NTL became Virgin Media that I read customers with NTLWorld.com email addresses would have the same emails ending in VirginMedia.com reserved for them.

Recently I tried to setup a VirginMedia.com email the same as one of my existing NTLWorld.com one's but it says the "email address is Unavailable". I tried all my NTLWorld.com emails and got the same answer.

Have the VirginMedia.com emails be reserved for me and if so how do I access them?

You can't - although there was a plan to allow customers to switch it was cancelled.

However, the virginmedia.com version of the addresses remain reserved so that can't be used.

I was allowed to have the same alias as my @ntlworld.com for an @virginmedia.com account. They sent me an e-mail saying I could set up one and have all my ntlworld e-mail forwarded so they must have at least started the plan for some people. How come they stopped it?

Don't know the details as to why, just know that it was.

I still use ntlworld.com

I don't know why people still tie themselves into ISP's mail services, use something like Gmail and then its an address for life as such.

Privacy! :)

I trust Google about as much as Apple iCloud

So it would be a shock to learn VM use Google Mail for their email then?
