Post subject: Yahoo on your cell phone

for all those who don't know

at

wap.yahoo.com

you can access your yahoo services on your wap enabled cell phone

Use the messenger, a bit messy though, check , read and write emails and and and and and ....all you need is to be registered with yahoo ( if you have an yahoo id already, just use that )

Yep that's true. I use it myself if I need to check email in a hurry. But does anyone know how to access hotmail the same way?

yeah, they are the only ones that still have only 2mb for free...you can't chat there anymore ... he seems to be too well off ... by the way, if anybody is interested I still have gmail accounts to give away...

An update on that, Fiddler - Hotmail's gone up to a more usable inbox size. 50MB? Something like that.

They did it a month or so ago.

Still a prick of a thing to access using other systems (try getting into Hotmail on a palm-based browser for example), but at least more storage than before.

Regards,
Bluebag

Yes it arrived automatically with no prompting from me (about 2 months ago). Its strange but they seem to be upgrading foreign (US / European) accounts first. I don't know of anyone who opened their hotmail account in China that has been upgraded yet. Discrimination at work??
