Advantages: Reliable, fast, functional
Disadvantages: Nothing special

Bureaucratic Tendencies ... Barely Tenable ... Bloody Terrible ...Badly Turned Out ... Beautifully Tense ... Boringly Turgid ... Benefits Tiny ... Bodged-up Tools ... Buncha T***s ... Bendy Toes (eh?) ... Whatever!!! We've all got our views about BRITISH TELECOM and they're almost universally critical these days. Mrs D and I are as very unimpressed as anyone in this regard, but there is one offering in the BT stable which is difficult to fault, and ... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use, you can send text messages, you can get talk21 through Outlook Express etc...
Disadvantages: not much!

...But its worth registering! THE SITE At talk21.com you can also find links to other BT sites, which are just as fast as the talk21 site, the links include MUSIC, NEWS, ENTERTAINMENT and many more so it is a good idea to have this site as your homepage. Other email sites such as Hotmail also have this feature though… ADDRESS BOOK The Address Book section on talk21 is called ‘Contacts’ and in this section of the site you ... Read review

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

I have become an experienced e-mail user. I have had a computer for over two years now and am coming to understand how the computer and the internet works. Since i have been on-line i have used the following e-mail providers, talk21, hotmail, yahoo, rocketmail and contactbox. Although i didn't use rocket mail to its full potential i came to understand that there was nothing whatsoever good about it compared to talk21. This opinion takes a ... Read review

Advantages: Features, Memory Size, SMS sending and notification.
Disadvantages: Sometimes quits, can be unwieldy until properly set up.

Well, some people like all of their e-communication handled by one site, one address, one communication form. By this, I mean that a singular site can be used in order to send text messages to mobiles (on any network), emails can be sent and recieved online, contacts can be kept, and text notification of emails can be sent to your mobile. This is in a way another form of a complete communication solution. Talk21 is ran by *with* btinternet, and ... Read review

Advantages: EVERYTHING!! Free use of all of its services.
Disadvantages: None

MY OPINION: FREE FREE FREE and no your not seeing things! Talk 21's FREE email site gives you the choice and freedom of using all of its varied services and all at the cost of nothing. Unlike other leading free email sites and services i have come across, Talk 21 one has that little extra bonus provided with it and its called - realiability. Unlike other leading sites there is always a tie somewhere but with this one there really isnt any hidden ... Read review

Advantages: Free SMS, Call Minder and SpeechMail all integrated.
Disadvantages: Server can fail quite regularly, slow site, avergage e-mail system.

Being an internet user who has never had a home connection, I think I can fairly regard myself as something of an expert in the field of free e-mail services. I've been through most of the field in my time, and found some good services and some not so good ones. Talk21 first attracted my attention around a year and a half ago. At the time, I chose it because my current free web-mail service couldn't handle attachments. I was also attracted by ... Read review

Advantages: See review
Disadvantages: See review

Let's face it, there is no shortage of free email service providers out there. A random survey of twenty people will probably reveal that all 20 use a different email provider. In a fiercely competitive environment, I am surprised that the general level of service provided isn't much better than it is. BT Internet provode a free email service - Talk 21 - that anybody can have, regardless of their ISP. So, what does Talk 21 have to offer? Well, ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of handy features, you can listen to your e-mails
Disadvantages: A fair bit of advertising, and has recently been renamed 'Talk21 with BT Internet'... urgh!

...it a try, log-on to talk21.com ... Read review

Advantages: Lots of MB of storage
Disadvantages: Where has SMS gone?!

Not only was I locked out from my previous free email account at Hotmail for two months whilst they carried out 'maintenance' (resulting in all my messages being deleted), but my account was also hacked into twice. Therefore I had no trouble severing my ties with Hotmail. A friend recommended Talk21 to me, and figuring it couldn't be any worse than Hotmail I decided to try it out. I am still with Talk21, and would not hesitate to recommend it ... Read review

Advantages: Simple, easy to use, web-based, WAP and SMS integration
Disadvantages: Very occasional adverts, tiny Talk 21 advert on the bottom of emails

If you want a free easy to use email service then you can't really go wrong with BT's Talk 21. The main page of the website (www.talk21.com) is a web portal with links to many websites and a few discreet adverts. There is a search engine bar at the top, the username and password bars, and a new user register button. Simply click that and you will have a Talk 21 email account within two minutes (unless your email address is already taken). Then all ... Read review

Advantages: Free SMS messaging service, Nice interface.
Disadvantages: Annoying attachment retrieval system

You get free unlimited text messages to mobile phones as well as SMS notices to your phone when you recieve a new e-mail which lets you know when you need to check your account.

Advantages: Text message sent to mobile phone, access from any internet terminal
Disadvantages: cause problems if large amounts of junk mail arrive

This is probably one of the lesser publicised free e-mail sites, I use it mainly for some of the more important e-mails that I send and receive, ( sounds good doesn't it). One of the good points is of course that you can send and receive the e-mails from anywhere in the world. I find it slightly more difficult to use than the more conventional sites like Outlook Express although they have improved the site several times recently and it is now easier ... Read review
