I think I get it. It says Push works like text messages. I still think I would prefer the old fashioned way of launching an app and going to get it vs having it bug me every time an email came through. Thats just me though, you may feel differently. It would never go back in my pocket if that were the case. Also is there a monthly limit on the emails? I am thinking about the spam issue. Say your email suddenly gets bombarded with junk and there goes your monthly fee to spammer junk.

With PUSH all that is gone, it just is sent to me, but I would need this company "hotpop" to do the sending. Is this true? I may have been snookered and I don't need the extra monthly fee for the push feature, possibly there is another way???? Thanks also Angie, I will check into this, but do you not have to "go get the mail" rather than have it sent to you? Sorry to ask so many questions, this is all new to me and I have 30 days to change the contract with Verizon if I purchased something I don't need. Thanks all, keep the suggestions coming. John R.
