UOL launches E-mail giant with 100 GB


We Know that Google offers 8 GB for free in Gmail.  There are nowhere near the storage capacity of the new gigamail UOL, a service that the access portal and content announced that the fifth. I think you'd be much happier with an email account with 100 GB free, right?


Regarded as "the largest e-mail in Brazil, UOL gigamail is not free. The monthly cost for subscribers to the provider UOL is R $ 24.90. Not a subscriber but want all that space to save photos, videos and other important documents also have the option of hiring the service for a monthly amount of R $ 27.90.

Charge more for premium services is one of the big trends of the network (I recommend reading The Long Tail to understand more about the subject), and YouTube is not the first to offer it. Here in Brazil we have email services with more than 8 GB, with its collection made to the party, check it out (note: discount prices have been discounted:

E-mail services paid Brazilian
Globomail Pro: 10 GB for U.S. $ 7.90 per month.
Big iG Mail: 10 GB for $ 9.90 monthly.
Mandic Mail: 10 GB for $ 20 monthly or 25 GB for U.S. $ 49.90 per month.
Mail Giant Earth: 20 GB for $ 9.90 monthly.
UOL gigamail: 100 GB for $ 29.90 per month.

If Gmail is your favorite and no use other services that appear with tempting proposals, the good news is that Google also offers more storage for a precinho comrade. 20 GB more storage cost only $ 5 per year, equivalent to U.S. $ 8 (or 66 cents per month). If you choose this plan, will, in the end, 28 GB to use freely between your Gmail accounts, Google Docs and Picasa.

Google does not offer 100 GB more storage for their services, but the plan with 200 GB - double the gigamail - has list price of $ 50. Again, very little compared to Brazilian competitors: $ 80, which gives more or less £ 6.67 per month. Google Payment is made at once, and there is no possibility to cancel the service after signing him.

For those who want unlimited storage of emails without paying anything for it, the best option is the Yahoo Mail. It has tradition, quality and cost.
