ive just got a k800i and signed up with o2 for the 5mb download thing a month so i can use my phone to get my emails etc but i darent use it too much as im not sure how many emails i can get before going over the 5mb. for text only emails how many should i get??
also ive heard push emails (is that what its called? where you dont have to click send/recieve all the time) can be very expensive has anyone had problems with it? |

Yes, but how much data is required to check the emails each time?
I have a contract with VFNZ for my V800. How much data would I use to check emails 60 times per month (12 hour interval) or 720 times per month (1 hour interval)?

@daviep
Thanks for the info, how did you obtain those figures BTW?
Assuming there were no emails downloaded, it would then cost me NZ$ 0.90 per month (12 hour intervals) + the cost of downloading the emails. I guess it depends on how many emails you send and recieve.
At 1 hour intervals, I'd need to select a Mobile Data 3 MB plan at a cost of NZ$ 10.00 per month otherwise costs could rise quickly... and I'm not confident in VFNZ's ability to bill data properly.  I've had nasty data bills before.
