Verizon email users: please take action to avoid losing your contacts and emails.

Verizon has made a business decision to discontinue its email service as of March 2017. Here's the official Q&A page: https://www.verizon.com/Support/Residential/email/migrations.htm

If you have a Verizon email, this means you'll have three options:

1. Do nothing: this will result in Verizon deleting all of your emails as well as your contacts.
2. Migrate your email and contacts over to AOL (this is Verizon's preference)
3. Migrate your email and contacts over to Gmail (this is TechFriend's recommendation, because Gmail has excellent spam-blocking capabilities, email apps, and features) Here's an article about how to do this: http://lifehacker.com/how-to-change-your-email-address-without-screwing-every-1481486947

We realize this transition has the potential to be confusing and frustrating. Please don't hesitate to call (617) 663-8832 or email [email protected] and we'd be happy to consult with you.
