BlackBerry® Storm™

[Candy]

I want to set up my hotmail email on my BB storm, but I wanted to know if I have to pay extra ?? I already have my yahoo one hooked up on my BB storm,  I heard that you have to pay a fee to use hotmail on the BB storm, and i just want  to make sure

Thanks

Candy, no. Pushing your Hotmail to (any) BlackBerry is the same simple process as enabling your Yahoo account mail to the BlackBerry, not cost other than your Data Plan with your carrier, which is sounds like you already have. You can have up to ten BIS accounts on your BlackBerry for the cost you pay for your Data Plan to you carrier.

IN THE PAST, Hotmail required users to upgrade their Hotmail accounts to HotMail Plus accounts, in order to have it available on the BB, but that is no longer the case. Perhaps you read some old posts mentioning that.

The free version of Hotmail won't allow you to forward messages to a different email address - perhaps that's what you heard and were confused about?  Pushing Hotmail to a BB does not count as Forwarding.

I have Hotmail and everything works fine and it doesn't cost anything to have it notify you on your Storm.  The only thing is Hotmail will need you to verify some info every 90 days.  They will send you a reminder and all you have to do is go into e-mail settings and click edit and then enter your password and you are good to go for another 90 days.
