Important Information for Android Users
Soon we will begin to make changes that remove the ability for Android Devices to access DSL Extreme services through Android-based Google Applications. It's important to review the ways you are using your device and make the necessary changes to ensure that you don't experience a service interruption.
If your dslextreme.com account is the only account set up on your phone, you will need to set up another Google account in order to use services such as the Google Play Store or Contact Synchronization on your device. If you don't already have another account with Google, you can set up a new account at accounts.google.com.
Once you have a new account, you can add it to your Android device following the instructions found in this article: Add an account on your device (support.google.com).
We've set up a guide that walks you through removing the Google Account, and setting up the native Email Application to access your email account here:
