I pay for AOL Gold. I thought if I had a problem it would be free to get help. Wrong. I was just charged $150.
Stop charging extra fees to fix a problem you created.
The person you called might have been someone posing as an AOL consultant and claiming to help with problems relating to passwords, line noise, hackers or other technical issues. If you suspect someone is posing as an AOL consultant, do not give them any of your personal information (name, address, password, social security number, bank information, etc.).
For help with technical issues related to your AOL account and benefits, you can call us at 1-800-827-6364. You can also contact our mail team at aolmailquestions@aol.com and one of our technicians can assist you with any technical issues.

Courious about my account
I am wondering more why I was made to take AOL Desktop Gold, I didn't ask for it, I am the only one that is paying for it. I want it free like all my friends still have it, I really can't afford this extra money with a small retirement fee each month. why was I made to take it? how can I go back to how it was???
We developed this new and enhanced AOL Desktop Gold software to replace the older AOL Desktop versions in market today. However, you will always be able to access your email through an external browser like Internet Explorer at: mail.aol.com

Apparently AOL is down and there is no workable service number to handle any problem. Very poor customer service. Going bankrupt?

COMPLAINT
You folks locked me out of my account, forced me to create a new password, passed me a code on the phone and then forced me to create an alternate e-mail address in order to get back in to my account and then only in one screen name.

Can't even delete a secondary screen name? REALLY????
I worked for a company called the Radio Mall. In 1995, I set up the email address theradiomall@aol.com. I no longer work for the company, so not only do I not need that address, I am not entitled to have it anymore. So, I tried to delete it. Well.....
I signed on to that address to delete it. It took a while, but finally, I found something that said that I had to go to the main email/master account and delete it from there. So. I went there and I eventually found something that said I had to be…

How to delete Data Mask now there is no master name
How to opt out of data mask since there is no master name to control my paid subscription. I will be deleting my paid subscription as there is no longer any manual portfolios as of Jan 1. Yahoo portfolios have never worked so I am looking for some other service
AOL and Yahoo are now a part of the same company, and so we were able to make this process very easy for you!
We highly recommend migrating your content over to Yahoo Portfolios, because of its robust finance platform. Yahoo Portfolios is free and easy to use! It’s a part of Yahoo Finance. If you’re not already familiar with it, Yahoo Finance offers really helpful features for its members like:
- real-time market data
- relevant original and partner content, and
- a continually expanding set of financial data.
It also provides members access to global financial market data, commodities, currencies, indices, and cryptocurrencies.Please call us at 1-800-827-6364 regarding the data mask subscription.

reactivate email
I had my email tied to an older account that I need access to but I am unable to access it without verifying my account but I cant do that as my email account has been deactivated. I understand needing to save server space but please give people the option to reactivate their email.
If you haven’t accessed this account in the last 90 days, it might have been deleted for inactivity and cannot be reactivated. Please refer to this help article and learn how you can create a new AOL account: https://help.aol.com/articles/aol-mail-account-and-password.

PASSWORD
I HAVE BEEN WITH U IDIOTS SINCE LATE 1986 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I NEVER HAD TO CHANGE MY PASSWORD 2 DAYS IN A ROW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STOP UR ******* HARASSMENT U WORTHLESS PUNKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'AM ON THE BULCK MAILING LIST
In order to better enforce anti-spam policies, AOL does not disclose the number of recipients or emails that can be sent at one time.
If you’ve received a notification that a limit has been met, you’ll need to wait a set amount of time before you can send more emails. Most sending limit notifications inform you of how long you’ll have to wait.
If you’re planning to regularly send bulk email, consider looking into an alternate solution.If you still encounter issues with your password, please reach out to our customer service department at 1-800-827-6364
