Worked for me - and I did not have a yahoo photo or verizon photo account.

I simply had a flickr account that was initially created via my SBC account, and it now shows up as:[quote]You have a Pro account, at no cost as long as you keep your AT&T Yahoo! service.[/quote]
So, at least in my case, there was nothing "to do" but I'm glad someone pointed out that I have pro access now.
Didn't see that quote, how do I find out if I am "pro"?

Didn't see that quote, how do I find out if I am "pro"?On the bottom of their homepage is a "you" menu, with an option being "your account."

When I clicked that, I saw that my account was now pro.

You can designate your pictures or albums as either public, private for friends only, private for family only, private for both friends and family, or completely private.

Also, the unlimited storage is unlimited as long as you have a pro account. If your pro membership expires though, they don't delete them, you just lose access to them until you restore pro-status to your account.

Also, it should be noted that there is unlimited bandwidth, so they won't kill your account because you linked a picture to a popular forum thread or something. I've had a pro account for two years now and I love it. I've got about 2,000 6 megapixel pictures on there.

i've had a pro account for 2 years and love it! in addition to a public area, i have a private (viewable by me only) area that i use to backup/archive photos. i have around 11,000 photos (~30 gigs) on there now. unlimited storage and bandwidth really is unlimited!

by the way, for those (like me) that had paid for a pro account before the free yahoo/SBC/etc offer took effect: your paid pro account is basically put on hold for as long as you keep dsl. if you disconnect your dsl your paid account will kick in again for the remainder of your paid term.

more info on this at the flickr forums: http://www.flickr.com/help/forum/44950/

my flickr: (shameless self-promotion) http://www.flickr.com/photos/joelmold/

It worked. Got the pro for free now, thanks!

Thanks for the heads up OP!

you mean update the one in "Your contact email"??

I try but nothing happened@@

Anyone got this to work recently? I just tried changing my account to use my SBC email then set it to primary, still free =(.

AT&T recently purchased BellSouth here in the southeast. I wonder if they will do the same for BellSouth DSL customers. *crossing fingers*

Thanks OP. I logged into my FIOS account and checked my Flickr settings and I am registered as a Pro User.

Will update if anything changes. I have att and an sbcglobal email address.

Did you sign in using your ATT/SBCGlobal address or another one? Will only work to upgrade to PRO if it's directly linked to one of these e-mail addresses and not a regular Yahoo or Gmail account.
