Apple Provides 60 Day Extension to All MobileMe Subscribers

Monday August 18, 2008 7:41 pm PDT by Arnold Kim
Apple has sent out emails to MobileMe subscribers tonight revealing that they are extending all MobileMe subscriber accounts by 60 additional days:

We have already made many improvements to MobileMe, but we still have many more to make. To recognize our users' patience, we are giving every MobileMe subscriber as of today a free 60 day extension. This is in addition to the one month extension most subscribers have already received. We are working very hard to make MobileMe a great service we can all be proud of. We know that MobileMe's launch has not been our finest hour, and we truly appreciate your patience as we turn this around. Read this article for more details.

The MobileMe Team

Eligible individuals are those with an active MobileMe account as of August 19, 2008 at 0:00 Pacific Daylight Time. As well, customers with an active free trial as of August 19, 2008 at 0:00 Pacific Daylight Time will also see a 60 day extension to their free trial.

This 60-day extension is in addition to all previously offered extensions. All MobileMe customers were given a free 30 day extension that was announced on July 16th. Some free trial customers affected by billing mistakes were later offered another free 30 day extension.

If you haven't received this yet, you should soon, hopefully.

Kudos to Apple. They could have easily stopped at 30 days. This was unexpected, at least for me.

90 days free....I'll take it.

It has worked well since the 2nd week or so for me, so I am not too troubled :)

I also like how one of the hardest emails to read on an iphone came from apple.

About time… Except I still haven't gotten it yet nor have they fixed my domain issue. Now it tells me that I didn't add a TLD instead of saying it doesn't exist.

EDIT: I only got 30 days. w/e

Really? Only 30? Was the wording of the email the same?

Nobody has gotten their additional 60 days tacked on yet. It's coming.

Didn't get that email and didn't get an extension. My service is set to expire on October 9th.

The web site is still wicked flaky -- more bugs than a piece of Windows software.

Hey imagine that, the e-mail announcing this went to my mobile Me account and didn't push to my phone. It downloaded it as I opened the mail client on the phone after reading this thread. The fetch didn't even get it. :) Awesome. :rolleyes: Oh and my date of expiration has not changed. Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee this is fun!
