How to Setup and Configure RoadRunner/Spectrum Email in Android and iPhone?

Most of the ISPs (Internet Service Providers) offer a lot of add-ons with our service package. It includes free streaming services and email accounts. Based on our plans, we will get the number of accounts free. Even if there are Large Email providers like Gmail and Outlook available in the market, we prefer other email providers to get the exclusive username without the numbers. We also utilize Free ISP Email IDs. Charter Communications has now acquired RoadRunner/TWC Internet service. They rebranded RoadRunner/TWC Email into Spectrum Mail. Due to the large volume of users, they completed the migration and kept Old service pages active to redirect. Don’t worry; your Email won’t go anywhere. We have to set up some settings to get your Email on your Android Mobile and iPhone.
