In past posts, I’ve written about Jott, a free service that allows you to use your cell phone to send reminders, to do’s, and messages to your email address. In the year I’ve used Jott, I’ve been using it to send myself reminders, I’ve also used it for blogging, and I’ve even used it for posting updates to my Twitter account.

Up till now, Jott has been free to use, but that’s has changed now that it’s come out of it’s beta testing phase. If you like to use Jott there are three different plans you can enroll in:

Jott Basic- free, you can send unlimited Jotts, but they come in a single daily email instead of individual emails. Recording time is 15 seconds and it will also work with Jott for iPhone and a new application called Jott Express. Plus, there will be advertising in your Jott emails.

Jott- $3.95 a month, unlimited Jotts. Each Jott comes both as an individual email and in a daily digest. Recording time is 15 seconds and it works with Jott for iPhone, Jott for Outlook, and Jott Express.

Jott Pro- $12.95 a month, unlimited Jotts. Each Jott comes both as an individual email and in a daily digest. Recording time is 30 seconds. Will also work with Jott for iPhone, Outlook, and Jott Express, the pro version also works with Jott for Blackberry.

There are also some Pay-As-You-Go plans in which you can buy blocks of recording times in 10 minute ($9.95), 20 minute ($18.95), and 100 minute ($89.95) blocks.

You can learn more about the different Jott plans at their Getting Started page. If you’ve signed up for Jott while it was in beta testing, you are eligible for an early adopter discount of 26% off the yearly price of a Jott or Jott Pro account. This offer will be available until September 8th.

What am I planning on doing with my Jott account? I’ve gotten used to using Jott, so it’s going to remain a tool of mine in one fashion or another. I’ve got until September 8th to decide how!
