Service Mechanics

• To subscribe follow the steps mentioned below:

  2. If the MMS is not enabled, you will not be able to subscribe to this service. Call 111 to get MMS settings activated.
  3. The subscription will be valid for one month. You will need to MMS ‘Continue’ to 889 to renew subscription.
• The welcome message received after the successful subscription will contain a WEB link (www.mobilinkworld.com/jazzmail) for creation of the account on the Jazz Mail server from where you will be able to configure the account settings as well.
• After a period of 1 month you will receive a reminder message asking you to renew the subscription by sending “Continue” by MMS to 889 in order to extend subscription to jazz mail.
• In case you do not renew the subscription, your account will become dormant for a period of 10 days i.e. the settings of the account will remain unaffected but you will not be able to access your account and will not receive any e-mails on your handset.
• If you do not renew subscription even after the dormant period, then your account settings will be deleted and you will have to recreate the account if you want to use it again.
