Free Pro on Flickr with BT Broadband

<p>Apologies if this is not the right forum.<br>

I have heard that as a BT Broadband customer (in the UK) I can get a Flickr Pro account for free.<br>

Is this the case and if so, how can I upgrade?<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>Why don't you ask flickr?</p>

<p>I can't work out how to!<br>

I have asked forums, but have had no response.</p>

<p>Maybe asking BT would work better? They still have at least a semblance of a customer service department right?</p>

<p>Contact your internet service provider. My AT&T DSL account bundles a Flickr Pro account with the service (altho' I'm getting conflicting messages from both AT&T and Flickr about whether the pro account is still bundled, whether it was dropped in 2009 and restarted this year and whether it will be dropped again in March 2010).</p>

<p>Flickr won’t tell you that this is the case, nor will BT Broadband. But it is the case. I’ve been taking advantage of this situation for the past few years now. What you need to do is to change your login email on flickr to use the Yahoo / BTinternet email address you got given with your BT Breadboard account (the email address is actually a Yahoo account, even though it says @btinternet.com). Use your existing flickr account, just change the email address from you that it uses, to your btinternet one, and log in using that one from now on. That should then show you as a “pro” user. </p>
