T-Mobile UK Adds Email Service £3.50 A Month

T-Mobile UK has launched Instant Email, a mobile e-mail service for £ 3.50 per month. Customers can try the service for free for one month and then move on to a rolling monthly booster (without a long term contract), getting access to up to five accounts on common web mail services such as Google Mail and Hotmail.

Instant Email customers are alerted when new e-mails arrive, with no need to log on to the internet. The service is initially available on select Nokia devices, with more phones expected soon. The monthly fee covers all the e-mails and associated attachments. There are no extra charges if the user exceeds the fair use policy and when going abroad the service becomes an opt-in.
