It is convenient to read and reply to Gmail, Yahoo or other IMAP accounts, plus Facebook and Twitter messages.

End-users are not required to pay any subscription fees, and simply "pay-as-they-go" for the amount of data transfer and storage needed. Typical usage may range from $2-3 per month, which is a significant savings compared to other subscription models.
