How to get a FREE work email address - 2024 edition (for use with Power Apps/Platform and Power BI)

[@IDoData]

If you are in India, then the best way appears to be using Microsoft 365 for Business - see 7'35" onwards. If you are in Nigeria or USA, the Microsoft 365 E3 free trial appears to work - and you don't need to add payment details. Phillip

[@dragnar4743]

yeah, I got the email through "Microsoft 365 E3 trial". But, it was asking for card detail which I was hesitant to share, so I didn't completed the entire process but still somehow got the work e-mail. I think the work email got created in the 2nd step of the process. Thanks for the video. I wanted to use powerBI service, so I was searching for a free way to create a work e-mail.

[@sakshii2000]

Thanks! This worked.

[@devonthomson7069]

The Office 365 E3 method worked for me. I am in the USA. Thanks for posting this video.

[@rickfab]

This is exactly what i was looking for! This is great.. Thank you so much! This deserve more views... I would suggest to change the title or add same video with another title because a lot of people are facing issue with developer program and you are assuming they have thought about a solution "creating a work email" and would search for it and watch your video. Sorry if you have already created another video for that, i couldnt find another one and found only this one which eventually solved my problem. Subscribed!

[@pranavichacham9548]

Thank you so much. I'm from Canada and the 2nd method (1 month trial) worked for me.

[@sonjoysengupto]

I'm from the USA, and only the last method i.e., Microsoft 365 for Business Trial worked for me. For the Microsoft 365 Developer method, it did not give me the option for the sandbox saying that I was not eligible for one, whatever that means!!! Thanks for sharing these ... I was wondering how to get into the Power BI Service portal for doing some R&D, very helpful.

Love from India❤ ... E3 worked for me.

[@debanjanchakraborty263]

Hello and thank you for the informative video. I found the last method mentioned for India based users helpful where i was able to get a email id with some changes introduced like putting in a payment method for trial Example CC. I am hopeful that even after trail ends i would be able to access or use the email id as business email

[@SaiKumar-fe1oq]

Hi @debanjanchakraborty263, are you able to access SharePoint, PowerApps even after trial ends with the same account?

[@quynhnguyen-kz7tm]

Thank you so much. I'm from Vietnam and the 2nd method (1 month trial) worked for me. After 1 month trial Can I still use my business email address and get the access to Power BI desktop?

[@IDoData]

Hi Quynhnguyen. Thank you for your question. Yes, you should be able to do so. Phillip

[@betosfilm]

yeah but, this only works for 90 days when developer program trial ends, then you will need to redo the same process, but can you use same credentials? to keep your PBI workspace and files?

[@IDoData]

Hi Betsofilm. You will still be able to keep your email address, and so will be able to continue to use Power Platform. Phillip

[@sonika.madhan]

even visio can be accessed with this mail id ?

[@sumeet.ghodke]

Helllo , is there any way so that I can share the dasboard with others so that they can interact with it? I am unable to share it asks for premium.

[@IDoData]

Hi Sumeet. You will need Pro or Premium to share a dashboard with others. Pro costs $10/month - Premium Per User costs $20/month. You can probably get a free 60 day trial by using the feature. Phillip

Easiest way to purchase a domain - first year usually free - and just set up an email address.

[@IDoData]

Hi User. Purchasing a domain is the way I do it. However, I haven't seen any which are free in the first year. Reduced, yes, but not free. Phillip
