Um, NO.  The phone to which he refers is a fixed (land-line) phone.
AIUI, the e-mail is a special provider for that alone, and calls are
charged using some peculiar new tariff which has a per-minute element AND
a fixed charge (i.e. not a *minimum* charge).

There has been some mention in uk.telecom, which is most certainly a more
relevant forum than your suggestions.  (If the phone HAD been a cellular
one, then uk.telecom.mobile would also have been more relevant than
getting stuck with a pile of Merkins who don't even use the same
underlying concepts on their mobile networks.)

Ok, thanks for the info.

Beg your pardon?!? It's a fixed line phone - what does that have to do with
cellular?!?
OK - in short it's a screen phone with caller-ID, home shopping, fax, email,
reminders, calculator, notepad, worldtimes etc etc etc, and I think it's a
bit of a bargain at �75

If you can see Demon's pop servers in the outside world, you can use it to
collect and send your email. Call the number in the book, and they will tell
you what to do. It works fine for me and Freeserve, but it WON'T give you
CLID notification of email of these "third party" accounts.
At the moment, charges are 25p/min, but from 1st Dec., charges will be 12p
connection charge+1p/min, which seems more reasonable.
