Vodacom said the new service only expands on its services – calls, SMS and MMS – for friends and family to keep in touch. <\/font><\/p>\n

"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. <\/font><\/p>\n

"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. <\/font><\/p>\n

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. <\/font><\/p>\n

Boost for small business<\/strong> <\/font><\/p>\n

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". <\/font><\/p>\n

Vodacom Free E-mail offers customers an entry level 5 megabyte mailbox, providing sufficient storage space and mobile access to the user’s address. <\/font><\/p>\n

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. <\/font><\/p>\n

Activating account<\/strong> <\/font><\/p>\n

An advanced package is available to users who would like the extra benefit of a 1GB mailbox for more space. <\/font><\/p>\n

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. <\/font><\/p>\n

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. <\/font><\/p>\n

From a cellphone, customers can also log onto vodacom4me via WAP for full access to their mailbox. <\/font><\/p>\n

Subscribers will only pay for the amount of data downloaded via their cellphones or Vodafone Mobile Connect Card to their PCs.<\/font> <\/p>\n
