 Fair use policy applies

Use of Instant E-Mail is subject to a fair use policy of 50Mb of data per month. If a customer exceeds 50Mb in a given month, we may request the customer reduce their usage of the service.

If usage of the Instant E-Mail service continues to exceed 50Mb per month, T-Mobile may move the user to another Instant E-Mail plan, and they may lose the right to move back to the original Instant E-Mail plan.

Access to and use of any other web based email service via GPRS is not covered by this fair use policy.
