Last Friday night, Edwin and I attended the blogger launch of Globe UnliMail at Blue Water Day Spa-Ortigas Branch in San Juan. This newest service from Globe is bound to change the way you see mobile email with its unlimited service. To all Globe subscribers out there, enjoy unlimited mobile email for FREE until March 31, 2010!

"UnliMAIL is an unlimited mobile email service that enables you to send and receive emails directly on your mobile device anytime, anywhere."

What I like about this service is that it allows you to access all your emails accounts in one application. Yahoo Mail, Google Mail, name it...they have it. It also acts like a regular email where you can send and receive plain emails and attachments (e.g. photos, documents, etc.). I can't comment on the price yet since it's still free and the final tariff rates will only be announced to the public before the free trial period expires. Also, my primary phone (a Nokia E63) isn't covered by the service yet due to compatibility issues. However, the Globe guy I talked with said they're working on it and soon more handsets will be able to use the service.

To register to UnliMAIL, follow these simple steps:

1. Text UNLIMAIL to 8888.
2. You will receive a SMS notification message containing a WAP link.
3. To download the UnliMail application for FREE, click on the WAP link.
4. When asked for connection settings, choose myGlobe Connect APN.
5. The application will automatically download onto your phone.
6. Upon successful download, load the UnliMail application on your phone to start sending and receiving emails.

UnliMAIL supports the following email and PIM data on Symbian based devices:

Gmail – Inbox, contacts and Calendar
Hotmail/Windows Live mail – Inbox
Yahoo Mail
AOL mail – Inbox
ISP based POP3 or IMAP accounts - Inbox only
Microsoft Outlook, using the UNLIMAIL PC Connector – Inbox, contact and calendar
Outlook Web Access – Inbox contacts and calendar

Compatible Handsets:

To make the event more fun, Globe treated us (bloggers) to a relaxing foot reflexology inside the Spa Movie Theatre of Blue Water Day Spa. I particularly enjoyed it as I haven't had a foot spa in a long time.

@Arbee: it's the same sentiment with my bf. he's also an iPhone user and a loyal Globe postpaid subscriber. we'll see in the coming days because according to globe, they're working on it. :)
