Mobile Email on a Cell Phone

Did you know that you get e-mails on the phone without having to install complicated software or create an additional account with a mobile phone? In fact, sending and receiving email on a cell phone is as simple as sending a text message. What exactly is involved? Let's break it down for you and make it as easy as possible!
 
Mobile e-mail on the mobile phone
Most new cell phone models - whether you have a LG Chocolate phone, Motorola RAZR, or just a simple handset Cricket - capable mobile email. One of the simplest ways and quicker for you, this has to be checked, just ask the dealer where you purchased your phone in the first place because they usually know the ins and outs of this particular model.

If you want to see for yourself, just the feature on your phone and select a particular input. Note that this is probably only with the contacts that you have stored on the phone memory itself found, as in the SIM card on most GSM phones work. Then you will probably see a number of fields, you can fill out, such as name, phone number, work phone number, and so on. One of these areas may be read "e-mail". If you enter the email address of the person there, you can email to them!

Sending an email is very similar to sending a text message, but if you access this feature on your phone, it's probably about the same for email. Enter the text you want, click Send, and it's gone. But what's your email address?
 
Your mobile email
Not all mobile phone accounts are equipped with e-mail, but most do when you use them or not. For example, if you are on Fido in Canada (a subsidiary of Rogers Wireless) like me, then e-mail your phone is your ten-digit phone number number@fido.ca. For example, if your telephone number 604-123-4567, then your e-mail address is 6041234567@fido.ca. Systems for other providers such as Verizon Wireless and T-Mobile will probably be similar, but it is best to check directly with your wireless service provider.

Where It All will be saved?
Most phones with not all that much internal memory come so that your mailbox fills pretty quickly if you send and receive a lot of messages. As such, many mobile phone service providers to give you access to your webmail account, such as email addresses, you can get free from Yahoo!, Hotmail, Gmail, etc.. The interface will probably not flashy so and jazzy, but it is also less (if applicable), and ads. Here you can set options and settings as well, so it will delete (or not) messages automatically as they arrive on your phone, if the e-mails are sent to a different address, and so on.
 
Beware of charges for data transfer
Check with your cell phone plan carefully, because it may or may not include an allowance for mobile messaging. Most plans are not, unless you subscribe to a data plan of some sort for your BlackBerry PDA phone or other smartphone already. Some systems treat short text messages are not in the same way as text messages, other. Again, this is something you may want to contact your service provider if you want a big surprise on your bill at the end of the month!

Besides being happy in your inbox!
