Telus did something smart . . .
spring 06
They've enabled a few different email systems that can be accessed directly from your PCS phone. You don't have to go
through the multimedia messaging trick I've been using up `til now.
Aaaaand, you can
access non-Telus accounts, you could get to almost any email directly
from your phone now.
And the best bit -
it's all free. Or at least it seems to be, since there is no pricing on
the links like other places you can go via the web browser.
Using them is very basic. Very similar to
an internet webmail system, but geared for the phone.
You can check,
receive, send, add contacts, get notifications, etc.
You really do have
full function email capability now via your phone. Finally!!
All this is through
the web browser, not text messaging.
