Mobilink offers POP3 bases push email solution for its Jazz customers, which uses MMS as communication medium. Once your MMS is activated, and you are subscribed to “Jazz Mail” services, you will start getting emails on your mobile phone, in shape of MMS.
The good thing is that receiving email is free, meaning that there are no charges for receiving MMS, however, standard MMS charges will apply when you will send an email.
As, I mentioned its push email solution, so you don’t need to check your email again and again, as it gonna pop up as soon as you will receive any email in your gmail/yahoo/hotmail inbox – that’s amazing. Though attachment size should be lesser than 300 KB in order to get them downloaded on your cell phone.
Charges
- MMS Short code 889 @ Rs. 25.0 + tax per MMS (you need to send this code once a month – so consider it monthly subscription).
- SMS/MMS Short code 888: free of charge
- Outgoing e-mails (MMS): Standard MMS charges i.e. Rs. 6 + tax per 50 KB
- Incoming e-mails (MMS): free of charge.
