I noticed the other day that all Telecom Broadband plans come with a Flickr Pro account.
I thought I would check it out, so I snooped around the Telecom website and found this to be true, but I couldn't find any info about existing flickr accounts...
Now before you say of course they do dunce!
I have had my Flickr account and Broadband plan decades before the internet was even thought of.
So I emailed Telecom about whether it was possible to use my existing Flickr account.
24hrs later the response was:
Your existing Flickr account will have its own user name and password access. The free Flickr Pro account which comes with your Telecom Broadband service is accessed via your Yahoo!Xtra user name and password, so they are two completely separate services.
If you'd like to take advantage of your free Flickr Pro account, I'd suggest saving the files from your existing account, and then uploading them to the Pro account. Once that is done you can then continue to use your Pro account for all your photos and sharing.
They included a link for me to login and set up my new Flickr Pro account.
I did this BUT LO! WHAT IS THIS HERE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE?
A link that says Merge with existing account. *bing*
I clicked that link and it said login with your existing Flickr account.
Oh goody ... (Now to cut the length of this down I couldn't cause I couldn't remember the email account associated with Flickr, I thought it was my gMail account but no (I normally login with a username) So I decided to reverse engineer it)
Cut To The Chase
Sign in with an existing account.
Entered my Telecom Account
xtra.co.nz email and
My Telecom password.
BAM!
I'm not bitching. I'm just making this public so that if anyone else is in the same predicament they can find a solution.
