No, I paid for it, for me it was well worth it, as it is much more easier, IMO, as dropbox, or yousendit. It's quite quick! I send gigabytes a lot of the times and it takes around 2-3 minutes (max 4-5), and then I just paste the link it gives me into the email, and the person I sent it to can just click on that and download the stuff.
Could you do some unpaid work at your local paper? At some point I was thinking about getting into journalism and I contacted the local paper maybe a months before the Easter break whether they had any unpaid positions during that time. They got back to me quite soon and offered me an unpaid position for 3 weeks. It was great, I had around 6 articles published (the first two heavily edited, but after that not so much) and definitely learned a lot. I think I contacted the editor, and then a senior reporter got back to me with the offer.
That would be a great way to gain some experience, you could get a couple of articles published and after that you could do an NCTJ, get some money together and do the MA.
I was in a similar situation when I applied for a job. I called them up and they said that if I email it they will just ask me to sign the form when/if they call me in for an interview.
I think it's also fine to just say "please find attached". They will want to print it out and it's just easier to print out a document, then an email.
Hope this helps!

Sneaks, I think unless you travel a lot to places that don't have wi-fi connection you just simply don't need the 3G. If I get one I will just go with the only wi-fi model.
lupinpooter, I'm not sure about zooming in, but on the ebooks you can change the font size (almost like zooming...), and I guess that should work for the PDFs as well.
