Mobile email provider SEVEN is moving into consumer services after a deal to pre-load its Mobile Mail service onto certain 3 handsets.
SEVEN’s Mobile Mail provides push-based mobile email from Microsoft Exchange and Lotus Domino, as well as access to contacts, calendar and corporate directories. This is the first time the predominantly business-centric service will be available on a consumer device.
Now, employees can use their consumer handset to access their work email while out of work (At least, if they really want to instead of enjoying their time off).
Mobile Mail will be available through 3’s X-Series software platform, while the first consumer device to get Mobile Mail pre-installed will be the Sony Ericsson W660i. Mobile Mail will be found in the messaging menu, accessed with a few keystrokes.
So how much will it cost? Well it’s £5 per month as an add-on, or there are Silver and Gold X-Series packages offering more features for £5 and £10 a month respectively.
