Email went out that if you have a photos account through Verizon Yahoo (or AT&T Yahoo/SBC Global Yahoo) they are transferring all accounts to a FlickR Pro account (reg $24.95 a yr). Simply log into your verizon yahoo (or ATT/SBC Yahoo) photos account and go to flickR and re-enter your password to create an account.

If you have an account with FlickR already, they will merge the two accounts for you free of charge to consolidate your uploaded pics onto FlickR.

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS:

I had the same problem. Here's what I did:

Go into the "Your Account" page.

Under the "Your Yahoo! Account" settings area, click "Use a different Yahoo! ID for this Flickr account"

Then choose

"To transfer your ihatethetv Flickr account to a different Yahoo! ID, sign in with that Yahoo! ID now:

* Sign in with an existing Yahoo! ID"


Sign in with your SBC username when prompted.


Worked for hikariliang and me (glenatuf) on 10/17/07.

Dear Verizon Yahoo! member,

Verizon and Yahoo! have a history of providing its members with award-winning, industry-leading Internet products and services at a great value.

For some time now, we've supported two photo services: Verizon Yahoo! Photos and Flickr. But even good things must come to an end. After careful consideration, we've decided to close Verizon Yahoo! Photos to focus our efforts on Flickr, the award-winning photo-sharing community that TIME magazine has called "completely addictive."

We will begin closing Verizon Yahoo! Photos later this summer. But don't worry — starting September 21, 2007, we will begin moving your photos to Flickr, where you will enjoy a Pro account at no cost (valued at $24.95 per year), as long as you keep your Verizon Yahoo! service.

Your Verizon Yahoo! Photos account will continue to be available to you until we begin moving your photos to Flickr. You will receive an email when the move begins, and another one when it is complete.

Are you already a Flickr user? If so, you will now have access to Flickr Pro at no additional charge. Associate your existing Flickr account with your Verizon Yahoo! email address to automatically receive Flickr Pro access.

We look forward to continuing to provide you with industry-leading Internet products. For more details about this change to your service, please visit our frequently asked questions.

I got an offer for my free Yahoo accountfor free FlickR pro for 90 days. After that it reverts to a basic account.

I haven't received anything for my AT&T/Yahoo account yet.

George, can you clarify. If you simply have a Yahoo account the offer is different.

If you have the blended VerizonYahoo it's upgraded to Pro as long as you keep the service.

I am all confused now. This would be great as I was just considering signing up for the FlikR Pro but....

I have NOT received any notifications in my ATT/SBC Global email account and there is nothing in the member's page either. I see that you say "go to flickR and re-enter your password to create an account"

but you also say:
If you have an account with FlickR already, they will merge the two accounts for you free of charge to consolidate your uploaded pics onto FlickR.

How??? What do I need to do in this case??? The email addy that I have registered with FlikR is not my SBC addy. Do I just add it? Change it to that? What?

Since I have not received the email you mention, I have no idea.

Thanks!

THANKS TO NEMONEIL at SD for this: This is his info on the SBC/AT&T Yahoo info:

I just got an e-mail from AT&T Yahoo! saying that they're shutting down their photo service to support Flickr full-time. As a consequence of this lost service to AT&T subscribers, they are giving away free "Flickr Pro" memberships worth $24.95/year.

To get it, just go to www.flickr.com and sign up for a new account with an AT&T e-mail address (e.g. *@sbcglobal.net for me). Current members have to "merge their account" by changing the e-mail address to an AT&T one and you should get Pro access for free!

I had already migrated my photos to Shutterfly, but when I logged on to Flickr, I saw that I have Pro service. I don't ever recall signing up on Flickr, and I don't have any photos stored there, but free is good. I'll have to think more about this service.

Since Yahoo Photos was going away, I was expecting this to happen eventually, so I had created a Flickr account with my sbcglobal email address. Sure enough, when I checked that account just now, I saw "You have a Pro account, at no cost as long as you keep your AT&T Yahoo! service."

Green for OP. Thanks for the heads up.

What you get with FlickR Pro Details


For those that don't know, FlickR Pro gives you UNLIMITED uploads and UNLIMITED storage! You can literally back up ALL your photo files on their service. Very useful.

Thanks, it works like a charm. There's a notice at the top of the account page that you have a free Pro account as long as you have ATT internet..

Also, if you never use your SBCglobal email address and have forgotten your password, call

877-722-3755

say "tech support" then "reset password" then enter your customer code from your bill (3 digits after phone #). it will reset your PW and tell you what it is. it says you'll need to update your modem settings with the new password at some point. i haven't had to do that yet..

Thanks. Uber Green!

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.
