It’s showing it’s only for 6 months now. Any other leads on getting an edu address?

@mushka: I have Australia.edu account and it works fine. Didn't pay the $20 for account, either. Started free account about 10 years ago but 5 years later, after not logging in awhile, it wouldn't accept my password, saying I had to reset via email address I used to register (which I no longer had!). Tried contacting admin several times, but no response. Finally my username dropped from their system, so I tried to start new account, even using different usernames. Some glitch wouldn't let me submit info. Last year, I tried AGAIN. Application process went through easily, and my old username was even available! Though I did have to wait over a month for "approval". Without paying $20. That I recall, I never got an email saying I was approved. I just kept checking their website to see if I could log in. Though still @Australia.edu addresses, their email now generates through Google Mail, so more reliable. And, I've noticed, eliminated the daily spam the old system had!

I think australia.edu is a scam. I tried a few times and got that message about reviewing my account and 20$ “donation” would give me faster review. I have not yet been aproved and its been months. I would like to know if anyone has actualy gotten the edu address from them with or without the 20$ “donation” or is this a scam? Please advise!

@sam: Thx. Signed up at australia.edu

I got:
An administrator is reviewing your account for approval. Due to increased demand there may be a delay in approving your email account, priority is however given to users who donate $20.00 or more for this service. To donate, please click the donate button to the left

Hopefully this will work before offer expires.

@sam, MIKE

Have either of you actually done that? Because I tried about a year ago, and the only email I ever got from them was saying that my account is being decided, but givig a $20 “donation” would up the odds tremendously.

Amazon Prime is awesome. Ordered something a couple of hours before shabbos using overnight ($3.99) and it was there when i returned from shule on shabbos day.
It managed to get from the amazon warehouse into a box, travel 800 Miles and end up at my door in just over 15 Hours!
