Does an Office 365 Home Premium subscription come with ad-free outlook.com e-mail, or would I still need to pay an additional $20/year?

    WHEN WE PAY FOR AN OFFICE 365 SUBSCRIPTION, DO WE GET AD-FREE OUTLOOK.COM?

    I found this thread after trying through Microsoft support to find an answer to the same question - three chat sessions; four different call-centre services - NOBODY seems to have a clear answer - largely, it seems, because they totally fail to understand the issue.

    I receive ads in outlook.com ONLY SINCE I started an Office365 subscription - I never did before. I try in outlook.com to upgrade to ad-free only to be told "sorry, this service is already active with your Office 365 Home subscription"... and around we go again....

    Great products - but pathetically unprepared as a customer-facing company

    The Adblocker works great, thank you very much. So as they say, a need can be satisfied in many ways. 

    Alright, now how do we fix the issue with the Indian outsourcing, or should i say the perception. I manage a big group of highly trained quality conscious Indian team who have won International awards. Needless to say, all apples are not the same.

    I just spend six days trying to figure out how to get a subscription for my installation of Outlook on Mac.  My government gives employees the application.  I've been a mac user for many years.  After installing Outlook for mac, I discovered the I was going to need to get a subscription.  NO WHERE ON THE OUTLOOK.COM site is there a button that says, "Buy Subscription Now!"  It took me six days to find a number to call.  And when I got to the lady, she couldn't speak English.  Eventually I got a link out of her and bought the subscription.  

    But now my problem is when I go to Office365 online, my OUTLOOK.com still shows ads on the right side.  I don't see any way of integrating it with my desktop Outlook app.  The question that this fellow asked was the same as I am asking.

    Folks, it appears the original question continues to go unanswered here.  

    So, I will simply answer it.  Yes, the two outlook services are not related other than the name "outlook."

    But to answer the QUESTION.... 

    ANSWER:

    As a 365 subscriber, you will still need to either pay to remove adds from Outlook.com OR, simply install a Firefox extension (also called add-ons or plug-ins) like "Webmail Ad Blocker." 

    This is a program that will do outlook.com among other webmail providers and sometimes give you back that screen real estate in the process as well.  Outlook.com ad blocker is currently only available within Chrome, but like I said, there is the other extension called "Webmail Ad Blocker" extension for FireFox that works great!

    Take Care,

    US Born
