TeleFlip Unveils Free Mobile Email Service
3/29/07 – Santa Monica-based TeleFlip has announced what the company calls its “premier product offering” – flipMail. The service enables mobile phone users to receive their personal or business emails right on their existing phones without any special handset, mobile Internet connectivity, or any downloadable software applications. TeleFlip made the announcement at the big CTIA mobile technology show in Orlando, Florida.
The company is positioning the service to brand marketers who want to reach customers via mobile phones. The company says that “TeleFlip now eliminates the need for the marketer to acquire mobile phone numbers and, as an extension to their existing e-mail marketing programs, guarantees mobile marketing ROI.”
TeleFlip was part of the DEMO 07 class, where the company first officially demonstrated the technology publicly.
The company says flipMail will launch throughout the United States and Canada in April. Future service offerings will include premium subscriptions with extended functionality such as calendar alerts and access to weather, sports and news content, according to TeleFlip.
