Using Wi-Fi would have nothing to do with T-Mobile (unless it was a T-
Mobile hotspot or something!)

At the moment all my email goes through the Tmobile server , even my
ntlworld mail , the question was if it still uses the tmobile server but
form a wifi hotspot does it incur a cost ?

T-Mobile will not allow you to use their SMTP server unless you are
connected to their network.

You would need to find an alternative server to send mail through. I
leave my phone set-up to use my ISP's server, they allow authenticated
SMTP. Maybe your's does too.

As you are asking these questions I assume you do not regularly use your
phone for wifi, whatever you do, you should get it working before you
leave. Sorting stuff like this out is a lot easier in the UK where you
can still use the phone cheaply than when you will be faced with roaming
charges.

I have found VOIP from my phone a great way to call home for free using
hotel or free-wifi.

But the main thing is try these things first, either using your home
wifi, or treat yourself to a big mac and go and play there.

If you do find you can use your ISP's server, check you can use it from
outside their network.
