A couple of months ago, I noticed that I was not getting my online ebill for my AT&T credit card. I have had this card for years, but do not use it much. But occasionally, I do. And, I know when I do. I check my bills paid online a few times each month, and noticed that I did not pay AT&T one month. So I checked the website, and sure enough I had an amount due. I checked back through my email, and could not find the ebill. Well, I made the payment in time not to owe a finance charge, and thought nothing of it. Then. Until, next month the same thing happened. What the heck was going on?
Well, this past Saturday night, I sent myself a picture from my IPhone http://www.apple.com/iphone/. I have done this before, and have noticed a delay in the email showing up on my computer. But by Sunday morning, there was no picture. I tried sending the picture again. Multiple times. But it did not show up.
I checked the phone user's guide, and learned that it might be my Internet Service Provider (ISP) blocking the photos. Grrrr. I went to the Suddenlink http://home.suddenlink.net/ email online website, and checked the settings. I changed a few, including the one that said to dispose of SPAM and not show it to me.
The photos showed up shortly after I made those changes.
Well, lo and behold, I had no idea how much SPAM Suddenlink was filtering out from my email inbox. And, I am glad that is happening. But today, as I was browsing through the SPAM, there was my AT&T bill! What the heck was going on? I am not sure, but I sent the email to my inbox, and had my bill.
I have since added that email address to my contact list, in hopes that the future ebills will once again show up in my inbox, and not my SPAM box!
