Email, it’s become a vital part of our everyday existence. We depend on it for both our business and personal lives and yet very few of us have access to it on the move. Vodafone is about to change all that though and it invited an exclusive group of journalists to its posh digs on Park Lane to spill the beans. Somehow, I was also let past the security guards.

In what turned out to be a highly significant announcement, the company unveiled three new unmetered email services and unprecedented new levels of remote device management and customer support. Between the packages everyone is catered for too: from high level enterprise right down to consumers.

So given that you’re primarily readers of a consumery-type nature we’ll jump straight into what this means for the man on the street. In a word: Nirvana (not the grunge band). Users who pick the Vodafone Business Email ‘Personal’ option can get unlimited access a POP3 or IMAP email account including all attachments for just £15 per month. Should you have a contract in excess of £40 anyway, the cost is just £10 (all prices include VAT).

Not sure i understand. Are you saying if i have a contract that is over £40 i can get the unlimited email add-on for £10? Would that be only pop3 or imap direct from vodafones email or any other email account i have?

Interesting stuff. I can see why this would be welcomed by business, but I don't see the point in the consumer deal. Anyone? As I see it most consumers are going to be on a sub £40 a month tariff, so for £15 a month you can have email delivered to your handset in real time. Wow.

I take the line that most people don't even know if there phones has an email client built in, let alone can be arsed to use it. And for the small percentage who can be bothered, why pay £15 a month just for real time delivery?

Maybe I'm just being a bit cynical.
