Professional Email Address Required for Signup

Article content To create a Pickle account, you must use a professional business email address. If you see the error message: “Disposable or free emails are not allowed” it means the email address you entered uses a free or consumer email service and cannot be used to sign up. What Is a Professional Email Address? A professional email address is an email address that uses your own business or organisation’s domain name. Examples of supported email addresses - [email protected] - [email protected] - [email protected] These email addresses are associated with a registered business or organisation and allow Pickle to verify account ownership correctly. Email Addresses That Are Not Supported The following email types cannot be used to create a Pickle account: - Gmail (e.g. [email protected]) - Outlook.com or Hotmail - Yahoo Mail - iCloud Mail - Temporary or disposable email services If you attempt to sign up using one of these addresses, the signup process will be blocked. Why Pickle Requires a Business Email Address This requirement helps Pickle to: - Protect customer accounts from unauthorised access - Reduce fraudulent or temporary signups - Clearly identify service ownership - Meet carrier and regulatory requirements - Ensure billing and service communications reach the correct organisation Because Pickle provides business telecommunications services, consumer email addresses are not suitable for account creation. What If You Don’t Have a Business Email Yet? If you don’t currently have a professional email address: - You’ll need to set one up before signing up - Most domain registrars and hosting providers include email hosting - Even a single address (for example, [email protected]) is sufficient Once your business email is active, you can complete signup immediately. Common Signup Issues Related to Email I keep seeing the error message “Disposable or free emails are not allowed” - Check that your email domain is not a free provider - Ensure there are no spelling errors in your domain name My email should be valid but signup fails - Some domains may require additional verification - Contact Pickle Support if you believe your email should be accepted When to Contact Pickle Contact Pickle Support if: - You’re unsure whether your email address qualifies - You believe your business email has been incorrectly rejected - You need help completing signup Our team can confirm whether your email address meets the requirements and assist if needed.
