Well, that’s a domain name, and currently, it isn’t working. So why you’re reading about it? Because you may have this domain in your email address, am I right?
Once a long time ago, there was a company called SBC Communications, Inc. And it had SBC Global subdivision for its wireline internet, distance voice, and data services business. SBC Communications purchased AT&T back in 2005 for &16 billion but decided to change its name to AT&T, Inc., as the last was a more well-known name.
Before the merger, the company offered an email service so that you could create an email like johnsmith@sbcglobal.net.
The domain isn’t live now (there’s even no redirect to att.com), but the emails created on this domain are still effective, and you can use them via AT&T.
Use SBCGlobal.net email via AT&T
The acquisition and rebranding took place in 2005, so there are not so many email accounts with sbcglobal.net in their name, and even fewer of them are used nowadays. But that are some still of the people, and if you have an email ending with sbcglobal.net, you can still use it.
- You need to go to Currently.com or AT&T Mail.
- Here, click on Sign In in the right-top corner and use your email as a User ID.
- Enter your password.
Now, you can access the SBCGlobal.net email account.
