Budapest, Hungary - Pannon, T-Mobile and Nokia announced today that
they will bring Nokia Messaging, Nokia's easy-to-use email service to
their customers having Nokia enabled devices in Hungary. From the 1
st November, all Pannon customers and postpaid T-Mobile customers
will be able to access the Nokia Messaging push e-mail service, which
supports all leading consumer e-mail solutions, such as Ovi Mail,
Gmail, Windows Live Hotmail and Yahoo! Mail as well as the major
local e-mail services, such as Citromail, Indamail and Freemail.
"In today's world, access is of key importance - not only the access
to information but also the access to each other. Mobile phones pose
an obvious solution to keep in touch with each other, and the
combination of a handset and an e-mail solution is perfectly in line
with Pannon's goals to offer services to our customers that make
their lives easier" - said Gergely Laczkó Tóth, acting CMO of Pannon.
"T-Mobile offers numerous solutions for the ever more popular mobile
phone based messaging to its customers, and the offer may become even
more complete by introducing NokiaMessaging, as subscribers can pick
the solutions best matching their needs. Subscribers increasingly
expect the capability to make telephone calls, internet connections
and watch TV anytime and anywhere - to have the freedom of accessing
information or entertain themselves. Jointly with our partners - e.g.
the market leader mobile phone manufacturer Nokia - we wish to fully
meet these expectations, building upon our internationally
acknowledged, excellent quality network" - said János Winkler, Head
of T-Mobile in Hungary, COO Magyar Telekom.
"We are pleased to make this announcement simultaneously with Pannon
and T-Mobile. Nokia aims to make mobile e-mail available for as many
people as possible; therefore the fact that two Hungarian operators
offer Nokia Messaging is an important milestone. With Nokia
Messaging, we can meet the need of people to access their public
e-mail whenever they want, wherever they want" - said Marcus Störkel,
Country Manager for Nokia in Hungary.
Nokia Messaging is an easy to set-up and easy to use push email
service which allows the user to mobilize up to ten personal e-mail
accounts on one device. With Nokia Messaging, people get the benefit
of real time messaging and are able to read, send, forward and reply
to emails, view subfolders, download and read attachments and also
attach files to emails in real time. Using the push e-mail technology
e-mail is swiftly and automatically sent to the mobile phone, without
needing to retrieve it. Many users want to enjoy the flexibility of
different accounts for each of their communities.
The Nokia Messaging service can be tested for 30 days free of charge.
Following the test period it will be available for a monthly charge.
Users can initiate the activation of the service at the customer
service of their mobile operator. The service can be used with Nokia
E52, E66, E72, E71 and N97 mobile phones.
