I have the misfortune to be with bigfoot as a premium member and have been for a number of years. Recently however their service has deteriorated to the level where i'm actively looking to close my account. I've noticed that not all emails get redirected to my current ISP email address. Also their webmail service has been down for over 2 ...  Read the complete review

I agree - they used to be very good but now they are terrible. Although I pay for the forwarding service, much of my mail never reaches the accounts it is supposed to go to. After years of trying to contact them and poor service, I am reluctantly coming to the conclusion it is time to part company.

I have used Bigfoot for MANY years. They used to be really good. Now they are absolutely horrible!!! Any review prior to 2007 is worthless as they have done a 180 in service in the last couple years.

sorry, but i cant recommend this service to anyone. i signed up for a 'Premium' account a few months ago - my reasoning was that they had to provide a better service than some of the free email services out there, because i was paying them - how wrong i was! i don't want to start ranting, so i will just list some of the reasons i ...  Read the complete review

The basic point of Bigfoot is that no matter how many times you change your ISP or email provider, you can always give people your Bigfoot address. Bigfoot then forwards the message to whatever email address you've told them. The best thing about Bigfoot is that it’s free to use, and they never attach any adverts to the ...  Read the complete review

Why bother with an email forwarding service? If you've ever changed your email address, you'll be aware of the hassle of informing all your contacts of the new address - and the number of people who seem to find it very hard to update their address books. Maybe there are some of them you'd rather avoid but most are probably people ...  Read the complete review

I think Bigfoot is best described as an e-mail directory and e-mail forwarding service. It also provides some other features, but they have recently been moved into the 'Premium Services' category and you have to pay $19.95 / year for them. As it happens, they have changed so recently, that when I started writing this opinion I ...  Read the complete review

When I first got online a few years ago, I came across Bigfoot fairly quickly... and decided it made sense - I'd sign up - and at least I had a nice address until they started charging. But they didn't!! It's still free, and it always will be (they guarantee it!) So how does it work? Well, you create an address such as ...  Read the complete review

I have used Bigfoot for 4 years since being on the internet. It has made my life easier as I have changed isps several times but never had to inform people of my new address as it has just een a few simple clicks that even my Nan could do and all my email is diverted to the address. I once turned the anti spam feature off as ...  Read the complete review

I have used Bigfoot since I've been online, and they've only made a mistake once. My father pays for my internet access, and ever since we've been online, he's had this obsession with changing ISP as quickly as he can. Without Bigfoot, I would have lost a lot of important mail. This is how it works: You get a ...  Read the complete review

During my time on the internet, I have had many different email accounts, many of them have major problems now and again. Since I found bigfoot this has helped things a lot.
