Hi every1,
Just like to share some understanding and what to do with Gprs phone. I hope some1 can point out if this is good thing or not.
Free email service provider like yahoo, google, they provide users the channels to retrieve email with Mobile phones practically wherever you are.it works very much like SMS but giving you more features. Other email service providers may not have this.
So, Sending SMS limits yourself say 80 characters or double of it. But for email, you can write as long as you wish. So, you can send mobile email to your fren and they can retrieve it thru mobile phone.
YOu dont have to pay for subscription, just register an acct with them and
u can send and retrieve email from Yahoo, google, you need to have Gprs activated for yr fone.
enter url : http://yahoo.com , Yahoo will know if you are using Mobile or PC. from there, you can send and get your email. The same for google.
So, I like to know will people use this Free mobile email service to send and receive email? -

Hi all, let me explain. Using Yahoo or Google WAP portal to send and retrieve EMail is FREE. YOu dont pay any subscriptiion to them. What you pay is the GPRS data download such as email. This Gprs charges is what u pay to the local Telco like Singtel/M1/StarHub.Originally posted by macjoe:GPRS is ex. Why use GPRS when SMS is avail with 300 free SMS and most don't exceed that no.?
Gprs is charged at $0.005/ kiloByte. Ok lah, not realli ex lah. SMS, you still pay but it is packaged in your subscription plan. You dont feel it. The ssame for Gprs, there is Unlimited Gprs plan. Surf till your finger drop!!! say, u pay $10 sth for this plan.
The good thing is that you can retrieve your email wherever and send email wherever. If your have sophisticated mobile phone/PDa-phone, you can read attachment too!! You can not send SMS to your Company's mailbox or fren's mailbox!!
Both are good. I just tot to share the flexibility you may consider when you are oversea and you need to send email.
when you are away from home, buy local SIM card to send/retrieve email. If u send SMS, your fren may not know who u are as the Tel Nbr change.
well, juz a tot. any1 has better experience in this??
