Flatrate GPRS with Swisscom
Economy (wiki) | Wireless and Mobile (wiki) - urs @ 18:18:48

[via mosi, 1] It seems like Swisscom decided to move a step forward and introduced «Portal Pack» [2]. From the beginning of July 2004 the GPRS prices for data transmission in Switzerland will be only CHF 00.10 per 10 KB (previously 00.19). If you are a moblogger [3] you can enter the «Portal Pack» at a monthly all-in price of CHF 5.-- which allows unlimited data transfer via GPRS. I am sure this will boost a lot of mobile applications that way.

if i understand the terms and conditions correctly the \"all you can eat plan\" only includes the portals of swisscom, so no mass-email-checking or email-moblogging and else.
but it\'s a good start for the competition, let\'s see what comes up...

The Swisscom Portal = vodafone include a online mailbox (pop and smtp)... I think this is the way you can moblog via handy in this flatrate.
Swisscom can't check every account. I think when you don't send 100MB per day, there will be no problem ;-)
