SMART launches 1st unlimited mobile email
Serving the needs of increasingly tech-savvy Filipinos, Smart Communications, Inc. (SMART) has launched on beta phase SMART mobile email, the country’s first daily flat-rate, unlimited “push” email solution meant to serve the consumer market, and to work on all handset models, old or advanced.
SMART mobile email provides all SMART subscribers, postpaid or prepaid, regardless of what handset they use, easy and inexpensive access to email through their mobile phone.
For a flat, affordable rate and in a manner as easy as text messaging, SMART subscribers can read and send emails while on the go.
“In the same way that SMART’s innovative but affordable offerings made the use of voice and SMS ubiquitous, we would like to turn email into another universally available service from which the everyday Filipino may benefit,” said Danilo J. Mojica, head of SMART’s Wireless Consumer Division.
“Putting email in the hands of every Filipino in the most affordable and convenient way is an important part of our vision of Internet for All, or to bring the benefits of the Internet to more people,” he added.
For P20 per day, individuals can register and have access to up to two email accounts, allowing them to have their emails automatically sent to their SMART handset from their personal accounts with the most popular email providers such as Gmail, Windows Live!, and Hotmail, Facebook via RSS feeds, among others.
Yahoo! is expected to be available by the first quarter of 2010. For longer but more affordable access, SMART’s mobile email offers 30 days or 1 month of the same seamless access, for only P199.
Using SMART’s mobile email, SMART subscribers may set up their mobile email anytime, anywhere, through a quick and easy procedure done in a few clicks on their handset.
