Free e-mail for Vodacom users
Vodacom said the new service only expands on its services – calls, SMS and MMS – for friends and family to keep in touch.
"With the introduction of Free E-mail, Vodacom is essentially aiming to offer Vodacom customers the option of expanding the manner in which they communicate to embrace evolving technologies.
"Subscribers that are on contract, prepaid and top-up, will now have mobile access to their own free e-mail account," said Shameel Joosub, Vodacom SA’s Managing Director.
With Vodacom Free-E-mail subscribers can enjoy the various options of reading, replying, sending and managing their e-mail messages from any internet connection, including their cellphones.
Boost for small business
Vodacom said it provides a huge business benefit to upcoming and individual small businesses, because the entrepreneur can now advertise his/her business not only with an easily accessible contact number but also with an e-mail address, "greatly enhancing their professional service and thus, business prospects".
Vodacom Free E-mail offers customers an entry level 5 megabyte mailbox, providing sufficient storage space and mobile access to the user’s address.
In addition 5 alias e-mail addresses will be allocated to each customer thereby enabling family members to each get their own personal e-mail for free.
Activating account
An advanced package is available to users who would like the extra benefit of a 1GB mailbox for more space.
Vodacom said the free e-mail offering now also offers many South Africans who don’t have access to a physical post-box another communications choice via their cellphone.
To activate the free e-mail account, customers can use any internet connected PC or laptop to log onto vodacom4me or call their service providers for assistance.
From a cellphone, customers can also log onto vodacom4me via WAP for full access to their mailbox.
Subscribers will only pay for the amount of data downloaded via their cellphones or Vodafone Mobile Connect Card to their PCs.
