email on 3pay

flodis79

Is the email facility on 3pay free both for sending and receiving mails? I read a verdict about a 3 phone sold on 3 UK, and it said that in UK you have to pay for sending - only receiving is free... Is it the same here?

Well, that IS crap.. I'm happy I asked here before getting a 3pay phone, since one of the main reason I would get one was to get free email.. Must say it's very bad that they dont state on the webpage that they charge for the email.... Cannot find anything..

Small fortune?
Hardly, I've sent half meg files using Three on billpay and its a fraction of what it costs my friends to send half meg files on his vodafone bill pay phone.

Have you checked Three.ie?

Read small email = 5c
0 -10kb
Send small email = 9c
0 -10kb

Send medium email = 25c
11 -100kb

Send large email = 50c
101 - 500kb

Read email = 25c
10 -500kb plus

Notes:
Small: less than 10Kb (approximately 500 words) or
without attachments.
Medium: between 10 and 100Kb (approximately 500 to
5,000 words) – with or without attachments.
Large: 100Kb to 500Kb. For email more than 500kb, an
additional charge of 1c per 10kb charge applies.

Well, honestly I have looked all of the place at three.ie but havent found these prices... They are not the messaging costs documents for "all other costs", so where can I found it? Anyway, no way I'm getting a 3pay phone, these costs are absolutely outrageous.
