I need to order a special transistor from the Fairchild Semiconductors website. It says I need to make an account in order to get free samples. I made an account with my Gmail E-mail address, and it says that I need a corporate E-mail address in order to recieve samples, and that my E-mail does not pass the validating process. Could I get some advice on what to do? Any help is very well appreciated.

i can give you my company email id but i will delete it after a month. If you want your own email address, you can register a domain with our company at www[dot]zoomhostindia[dot]com

Hi, sometimes it is good to think of yourself as a business. This makes your request more professional. Just think of a company name for yourself and use your ISP's Email account. That is a business Email Address or you can signup for a domain with some of the companies on the web and create a new business identity company Email.

Thank you for the help. I only have one concern: what such websites provide the option to create a new business identity E-mail?

We have a small engineering business hosted at www.powweb.com. They will give you a domain of your choice and give you a place to host a website with that domain of your choice like www.whateverbusinessyouwantname.com
The cost is 3.88 a month. That is less then 60 dollars a year. The amount of samples you can receive with that business domain is endless and will pay for its self. Also you can set up a shopping cart and sell things that you create. I hope this helps spread light on the subject. The reason the companies do not let you use gmail, hotmail ect are due to the ability for multi-accounts from one person and the abuse that the sample program receives. The more the abuse on the sample program receives the less samples are available for all who really need it. So please do not abuse it, just use what you need and leave the rest for others in need. Thanks.

Thank you so much! I just signed up. Now all I have to do is get the samples ordered and I'm good to go! Your kind patronage is very well appreciated.
