You may also be able to use a mail server that strips out unnecessary headers. Also, your server sould implement agressive SPAM filtering. Having a unique address just for your mobile and using a whitelist would keep much of the junk mail at bay. For web surfing, always use the WAP or Mobile interface to a site if they have one. |
For email only - T-Mobile USA as an unlimited intl. Blackberry option for $20/mo. It can be turned on and off at will - meaning if you are going out of the country for 10 days, you have it activated for those 10 days. I know a couple Canadians who have T-M USA service just to make use of this option. ATT USA has a similar option, but it is much more expensive.

Make use of T-M's UMA/wifi free calling from any place in the world with access to wifi. I use an LG G6, wife an S7)
A/o Oct 20, 2013 no need for intl prepaid as T-Mobile U.S. includes voice roaming at 20¢/min (in and out)., unlimited text (in and out), and unlimited data in 140+ countries.
My Plan -[6 lines] U.S. T-Mobile unlimited minutes (incoming and outgoing), unlimited text, fast data on each line. that $145/mo. total! . (In U.S. no surcharge for calling a cell.) If a line exceeds 2G of data in a month, pay $10 more for that line. [That only happens a couple times/year.
