Email Push Question - Motorola Q Forum

dconder · 01-25-2008, 06:39 AM

I just got my email to start working automatically (thanks for all the help). I was wondering though, I think my plan is unlimited data and we have a business plan with X amount of minutes a month for calls. If I have my email setup to check "as arrives" and "anytime" is this using up my air minutes or are data and calls totally different. Seems like I remember reading that while you are on the internet it is still using air time or something. Am I totally off base? I just want to make sure before I get a bill that is way over our minutes because the email is constanly checking. Thanks.

Hope that all made sense.

I just wanted to double check. I know when I had EasyEdge that any time I used it, it counted as minutes used. I was hoping email and internet were not the same.

Thank you so much TreeFrog. Your help has been invaluable.

May want to double-check because EasyEdge is data only as well.

I just double checked with US Cellular and they said it does not count as airtime or minutes. It's just data service that is included in the package. Thanks all.

I'm also using US Cellular and I can't get my Push E-mail to work. I've done some searching and I can't get a straight answer to get it to work. My e-mail is coming from Hotmail only. Could you please tell me the steps I need to do this? Thanks in advance.

What Q do you have and what how are you getting Hotmail now?

I have the Q9M (it's black) and am going to the "messaging" screen and going to my Hotmail, but I have to hit "Send/Recieve" to get them.

If your Q9m didn't come with Windows Live installed, I think you can install this one! Sounds like your using Hotmail via PocketMSN...if this is the case, follow the links to gold!

Report back!

I already found that link since I posted 15 minutes ago. Everything seems to be working great. THANK YOU SO MUCH. Do you have it time out when trying to upload pictures or larger files to your phone from e-mail? Any tips.
