PELEPHONE LAUNCHES SMART MAIL POWERED BY EMOZE
Pelephone, Israel's largest mobile operator, in cooperation with the award
winning mobile messaging service emoze, is now offering broadband subscribers
push email on a wide array of mobile devices.
Ra'anana - 02 February 2010 - Pelephone, Israel's leading mobile operator, has
today taken a strategic step toward its vision of smart and friendly mail on
every mobile device with the launch of its new mobile email service, Smart
Mail, powered by emoze.
Smart Mail is an innovative push email service that enables both personal and
business email messages, including attachments, to be pushed in real-time to
the subscriber's handheld device, even if it is not a smart phone. Smart Mail
is already supported on over 13 Symbian and Java devices, including several
Nokia and Sony Ericsson handsets, with dozens more to be added in the coming
months.
The rapid development of cellular broadband is fast closing the gap between the
number of emails sent over the internet and the number of emails sent via
mobile telephones. Guy Bauman, Senior VP at Pelephone noted "Currently, there
are more than 65 million emails sent daily in Israel alone via the internet,
but only 1/2 million emails are sent via cellular phones. We believe that
within three years we will witness the number of emails being sent via cellular
phones increasing to about 10 million messages a day. We are focused on mobile
broadband and mobile-mail is definitely an area of significant value for both
the mass market and the business sector. We are confident that cooperation with
emoze will assist us in reaching this untapped market, and significantly
expanding our broadband customer-base. "
Moshe Levy, CEO of emoze said, "The launch of Smart Mail is a world-changing
event for the mobile industry. We are delighted that Pelephone has chosen emoze
as its provider of total messaging solution enabling its subscribers to enjoy
mobile messaging anytime, anywhere and on any phone. To our knowledge, there is
no other mobile operator able to offer a service that provides this ultimate
combination of such wide device and service coverage. We believe that by
offering its subscribers Smart Mail, Pelephone is presenting a truly
transformational technology, making cellular messaging simple, fast, and
accessible for everyone."
