What is Share this by email?

Share this enables you to share content from the BBC Mobile website via any email account that you have set up on your phone.

How does it work?
If you see a BBC Mobile page you want to share, click on the email logo in the Share this area at the bottom of the page. This will open up an email within your phone's email facility so you can easily access your contacts and write a message to go with the page you want to share.

Why won't it work for me?
You will need to have email set up on your phone in order to use Share this by email. If you're unsure how to set up email on your phone, please consult your mobile handset documentation.

What does it cost?
The BBC won't charge you to use Share this by email. However, your network operator may charge you for the amount of data you use. If you're unsure how much data costs on your tariff, please contact your network operator.

Does the BBC store any of my information?
No. As you will be using your own email account, we won't have access to any personal details or your message. For more information on the BBC's approach to privacy, please see the Privacy & Cookies Policy.
