E-Mail Anywhere Capability From PocketMail

PocketMail Inc. has expanded of its line of simple and affordable e-mail devices and service with the introduction of the PocketMail Composer, the company`s latest handheld e-mail device.

The PocketMail Composer is both a pocket-sized organizer and an “e-mail appliance” that allows consumers to send and receive e-mail, anytime, anywhere, over virtually any telephone without the need for a phone jack, cradle or cable. Past models were compatible with landline or analog cellular phones. This new product now works with any type of mobile phone as well. The PocketMail Composer makes sending and receiving e-mail messages as easy as dialing an 800 number, holding the device against the telephone handset and pushing just one button. The Composer can also be used to send faxes. The battery-powered PocketMail Composer is about the size of many standard organizers and features:


1. A complete keyboard

2. Organizer functions including address book, scheduling calendar, calculator, memo pad and to-do list

3. E-mail management features including message previews and organizing message folders


“For our largest and most mobile markets—Rivers, boaters and truckers and travelers—the PocketMail service has proved to be an invaluable means of communication,” said Joe Katz, vice president of marketing at PocketMail Inc. “The PocketMail Composer`s compatibility with just about any phone anywhere makes it a reliable link to home, friends and family from almost anyplace in the world.”


Priced at $99.00 with $14.95 monthly Service, PocketMail products can be purchased at pocketmail.com. They are also available in specially-priced discount bundles with 3 months or 12 months of service.
