Having problems? You might need to set your phone up. Depending on the phone you have it may need WAP, GPRS or 3G settings.
Never miss an email
With our mobile email service, you can check your email and reply on the go, whether you're on the bus, snuggled up on the sofa or waiting for a mate.
Most email accounts work with our service, but there are always a few that don't. You'll need to have an account with a provider that lets you pick up your email remotely, using technology called POP3 or IMAP. Unfortunately, if you have a Hotmail address, you won't be able to use our service.
In some cases, you might need to enable email forwarding. You can do this by going to the website of your email provider, logging in as usual, and choosing the forwarding option in the settings or options menu. Some providers might also give you the option to enable forwarding only for mail that arrives from now on. It’s a good idea to do this, otherwise your phone might try to download all the emails in your Inbox!
Finally, you can choose whether you want to download the entire email each time you check your inbox on your phone, or just download the header. By downloading the header, you can see what the email is about and decide whether you want to see the full message. If you'd like to set up this option, just go to the Advanced Settings or Configuration Options on your phone.
How much does it cost?
If you want a cheeky look online when you’re out and about, you can use our 30p a day rate for unlimited Mobile Internet. A fair use policy of 25MB per day applies.
Love to go online on your mobile a lot? It makes sense to get our Mobile Internet Add-On. For just £5 a month it gives you unlimited Mobile Internet. And that’s all day, every day, all month. There’s a fair use policy of 1GB a month. To add it, just text Buy Data5 to 789789. To cancel text Cancel Data5 to 789789. If you exceed the 1GB fair use policy at any point then your excess use will be charged on a daily rate of 30p per day for any additional days. That daily rate is subject to a fair use policy of 25MB per day and any additional use beyond that will be charged at £2 per MB.
There are heaps of videos, music tracks, tones, pics and games to download too - these cost extra. You'll always be able to see how much they cost before you download them.
