SBCglobal.Net Email Settings On iPhone,Andriod & Outlook| IMAP/SMTP Settings

SBCglobal.net was the brainchild of SBC Communication, formerly known as Southwestern Bell Corporation before it merged with its arch-rival AT&T in 2006. 

Users who got their email accounts with SBCglobal.net – as their accounts are operated by AT&T – could function their emails by the same domain on AT&T and other email accounts as we will guide you step by step to alter your SBCglobal net email settings. 

Hence, there is a possibility that your SBCglobal email settings are outdated because SBC does not provide email services anymore. But you can still send and receive emails by the same domain name. In other words, SBCGlobal uses the server of AT&T besides using the common server. Please note, do not change the SBCglobal.net password before configuring it to any other email domains. Do it once your configuring task is complete.
