Hey andyhmw!
The e-mail to text service is a service that will let you know via text message when an e-mail is received in your Fido mailbox. You can have this service Pay-Per-Use or via an add-on.
Pay-Per-Use: You will receive an alert via text message saying you've got a new message in your inbox. To read the entire message, you would then have to reply with M or More or R or Read. The reply to the text message is what you would be billed for at the rate of $0.25 each. If you have text messages included within your plan, those messages would be used instead and no fee will apply.
The add-on: With the $5 per month add-on, you would no longer receive an alert. Instead, you would automatically get the first 160 characters of the e-mail. You may then reply using the same commands mentioned above to receive the next 160 characters. The reply will be billed at the same rate then above or covered by the text messages included in your plan if you have some.
The text message you have received saying that you were subscribed to the service was referring to the alerts only, not to the add-on.
I hope this clarifies everything for you.
