What is SBC Yahoo Mail?

SBC stands for Southwestern Bell Corporation, which is now part of AT&T. When people get an SBC Yahoo email, they are getting email from an SBC/ATT email account through Yahoo's email system. Yahoo accounts are free, but SBC Yahoo accounts are not free. You have to be an AT&T customer to use SBC Yahoo services. This article gives an overview of SBC Yahoo Mail and its services.

Overview of SBC Yahoo mail

Setting up your own email address
When people formerly enrolled in SBC internet access services, they were given an SBC My Yahoo page. All of this is now AT&T Yahoo, but it is just the same system with a different name. When you get a new SBC AT&T account, you can set up your new email address. AT&T allows people to have a main email address and multiple other addresses so that a whole family can have an email address and each individual in the family can also have an email address. Going through the Yahoo portal Even though SBC customers log in and use Yahoo services, their email addresses are @sbcglobal.net. A user would go to the main Yahoo.com page and enter their email address, including the @sbcglobal.net, into the Yahoo user name box and their passwords. They will then be brought to the familiar My Yahoo web mail account, but the screen will have some additional options.

SBC Yahoo Services

The package When you have SBC global internet or DSL, your My Yahoo page will be a little different. When you are checking your email, you can click on account information and access billing information, make payments, and download virus protection service if that is part of your SBC package.
Managing your billing account These features are found in the top right corner in the Member Center. My AT&T on Yahoo also has the U-verse services, so if you have your phone, internet, cable, and mobile through SBC or Yahoo, you can take care of all of your billing through the Yahoo portal.
Similarities between AT&T webmail and SBC webmail AT&T webmail works in the same way as SBC webmail. Instead of logging into Yahoo with a user name or sbcglobal.net, AT&T customers use an Att.net extension. People who have Sbcglobal.net emails were grandfathered into the AT&T systems because Southwester Bell was one of the 'baby bells'. Baby Bells were the names given to companies when AT&T broke up into regional phone companies. The company has since regrouped under the AT&T name.
