Who wants
SMS?
A new monthly fee paying service from T-Mobile enables access to
email straight from a user’s phone. For $3.50 a month the user can upload
up to five email accounts, such as Google Mail or Hotmail, and each can be
separated out into different inboxes.
Richard Warmsley, head of internet
and entertainment at T-Mobile, in a press release that mobile email is
nothing new for business customers, but he thought everyone should have easy
access to their inbox on the phone of their choice. It is initially only
available on a selection of Nokia devices but will be rolling out across
other T-Mobile handsets in the future. The service allows people to see
emails as they arrive without the hassle of logging on or going
online.
Along with the email, the service can back up and update phone
numbers, email addresses and calendar to the phone and the monthly fee will
include all emails and attachments.
