3 mobile broadband, do you get email account?

As the title, does 3 mobile broadband give you an email account with three?
What do three use for the email address, is it
????@3.co.uk or something else? How do you get an email address?

Thx

I was really wanting to know if they offer email services or not.

No, they don't AFAIK - it's purely connectivity only (no web hosting, news
servers etc etc either). Just use one of the zillions of free email
providers if you need an account.

Agreed. I had an e-mail address with Plusnet and it took me ages to
wean everyone off it and on to my GMail one .

A word of warning: Don't use "smtp.three.co.uk" if you run a local mail
client. That rewrites your From header with <phone number>@three.co.uk.
No idea where replies go.
