Verizon gets email, now

US carrier Verizon Wireless has launched Mobile E-mail. The service is available on the operator’s Get It Now-enabled handsets.

Mobile E-mail provides Verizon customers with access to email services, including – among others – Yahoo, AOL, AIM, Hotmail and Verizon.net.

The service runs on solutions provided by Canadian messaging specialist OZ Communication.

Verizon customers with certain Get It Now-enabled phones can access up to ten email accounts. Each account will have the same branded “look and feel” on the mobile phone screen as it does on the computer screen.

Other features of Mobile E-mail include access and use of the contact list on the phone for all mailbox accounts and regular alert notification of new emails.

Mobile E-mail is available on the enV by LG, the MOTORAZR V3m, MOTORAZR V3c, the LG VX8300 and the Chocolate by LG for $5 monthly access, and the service is expected to be available on additional handsets in the coming weeks and months.

Verizon customers with America’s Choice Premium calling plans can access Mobile E-mail for no additional charge or airtime charges; America’s Choice Premium plans start at $79.99 for 450 minutes and Unlimited Messaging, V CAST, VZ Navigator and Mobile E-mail.
