C|Net | at | by Mike
Microsoft is sending Hotmail subscribers a message: E-mail on the go isn't just for people in pinstripes anymore. Microsoft announced Tuesday that consumers will be able to send and receive e-mail messages and online content on Motorola's Talkabout T900 two-way pagers. The devices will run on the Arch Wireless network. There are three monthly service plans. For $14.95 a month, customers get 15,000 characters per month to use in sending and receiving e-mail messages. For $19.95 a month, the limit is 30,000 characters, while $24.95 buys unlimited use. Those who subscribe to the $19.95 plan with a one-year contract also get a $100 rebate on the pager, bringing the price to $59.99.
