Keep Your Loved Ones Safe with the New Edison Mail+ Family Plan

Amid the increasing threat of email phishing scams, Edison Mail+ users can now share their plan with five other people for free.

  • Edison Mail+ now offers a Family Plan, allowing users to provide powerful inbox protection for five other people, at no extra cost.

  • As email scams continue to increase with no sign of slowing down, being able to protect yourself and your loved ones is more essential now than ever before.

  • The plan includes access to unique AI-based mobile security features to warn you when a phishing or other scam enters your mailbox, block spam calls and texts, identify callers that have sent you emails, keep your contacts’ information up to date and more.

Get peace of mind that your elderly loved ones, teenagers, friends or coworkers are safe online with Edison Mail+ Family Plan for iOS and Android.

If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that online scammers don’t take a break. As our previous Cybersecurity Awareness Month blog detailed, phishing scams were on the rise and the top scams of 2020 honed in on peoples’ fears about COVID-19, economic challenges, unemployment, and bills.

In 2021, the situation is no different, as email scammers adjust their strategies to fit the times. Just recently, AARP warned Virginians about a rise in fake email and text surveys regarding COVID-19 vaccines. These surveys, often dressed up with official looking logos, are designed to collect sensitive personal information from vulnerable senior citizens. 

While these scams targeted the elderly, everybody is vulnerable to email phishing scams these days. Just recently, the FBI released a public warning warning New Englanders of scammers calling and emailing individuals impersonating the government and demanding money, and there has been a rise in W-2 phishing scams during this tax season. 

As phishing scams continue to increase, our natural desire is to protect not only ourselves but those around us. After all, you may be keyed in on how to spot a phishing scam, but are all your loved ones?

To help with the rising tide of email phishing scams, we introduced our original Edison Mail+ subscription plan last year with a medley of tools to equip your inbox with powerful AI-based security features. Since then, our team launched an Android version of Edison Mail+ and added an additional LinkedIn Discovery feature for premium accounts — all without increasing the price of the subscription. 

To add even more value to your Edison Mail+ subscription, we are proud to introduce the Edison Mail+ Family Plan for iOS and Android.

Our Family Plan allows you to share all of Edison Mail+ premium features with your friends and family at no extra cost. Everyone on your Family Plan will have access to unique email features like Verify Sender, Validate Contacts, and more — created to make you feel safe in your mailbox again —  as well as LinkedIn Discovery, built for busy people who live in their inboxes.

These additional layers of email security are always running in the background and make it effortless for anyone to benefit from them, offering you peace of mind that your loved ones have a first line of defense against ever increasing efforts by scammers. While we call it the Family Plan, you can add anyone whose internet safety you’re concerned about. Whether this means your grandparents, friends, nieces, or even coworkers, you can rest assured that they’ll have a way to be warned about and block email scams before they possibly become a victim. 

Once you invite someone to join your family, they’ll receive an email inviting them to download Edison Mail if they’re not already a user. Then, as long as you continue to be a Plus subscriber, everyone in your family will receive the exclusive and powerful Edison Mail+ security features, free of charge. 

Edison Mail+’s hallmark feature is Verify Sender, a first-of-its-kind feature to proactively warn you as suspicious emails enter your inbox. Through four levels of deep-scanning, you’ll be able to learn if an email is authentic or potentially malicious. Edison Mail+ provides unparalleled inbox protection for consumers, defending users from the 98% of emails that otherwise arrive unchecked for malicious intent. 

In addition to Verify Sender, family members will get access to Validate Contacts to keep their contacts up to date, and Linked Discovery so busy professionals can find a contact’s LinkedIn profile in seconds.

Edison Mail+ users on iOS can also access a Spam Blocker to block calls and texts from junk email senders and Inbox Caller ID to identify the identities of spam callers from your inbox.

Protect yourself and your loved one from being another email phishing statistic. For just $14.99/month or $99.99/year, keep everybody safe.
