Do the business on your Apple iPhone with free e-mail from Synchronica
Synchronica extends its free Mobile Gateway trial to UK iPhone users seamlessly
connecting the iPhone to Microsoft Exchange
Tunbridge Wells - Synchronica plc, (AIM: SYNC.LN), the mobile synchronisation
and device management company, is pleased to announce that UK iPhone owners can
now turn their new handset into a business phone by adding a secure corporate
e-mail service free of charge with just a few clicks.
Synchronica is the only vendor offering a live solution allowing iPhones owners
to receive push Email from Microsoft Exchange accounts, without requiring
additional software to be installed on the iPhone, or behind the corporate
firewall. The free trial for UK iPhone users follows a successful trial running
in the US since August. More than 10.000 US iPhone users have already signed up
for the Mobile Gateway trial and have seamlessly incorporated their new handsets
into their business life, using mobile e-mail.
By signing up for a free 60-day UK trial with Synchronica's Mobile Gateway
today, owners of the ground-breaking Smartphone from Apple can receive their
corporate e-mail on their iPhones without having to install any additional
software on the handset or behind the corporate firewall.
Mobile Gateway, which provides a link between the iPhone's built-in e-mail
client and Microsoft Exchange, is the perfect complement to iTunes for ensuring
fast, secure synchronisation of all business data. While iTunes synchronises
calendar and contacts with Microsoft Outlook, Mobile Gateway keeps iPhone
connected to corporate email when the user has left the office. It provides
tight integration between the iPhone and Microsoft Exchange and automatically
delivers emails to the built-in email client of the iPhone, including support
for folders and attachments. Emails sent from the iPhone via Mobile Gateway
automatically appear in the "Sent Items" folder of the user's Exchange account
as if they had been sent from the user's PC.
Taking advantage of this offer is simple: Users just need to log on at
www.synchronica.com and register their iPhone with Synchronica's Mobile Gateway
and start to send and receive e-mail immediately. Following the expiry of the
60-day trial, users will be migrated to a commercially-supported service.
Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Synchronica said: "I know that those who have
finally got their hands on the iPhone in the UK are going to love their new
handset just as much I love mine. The iPhone is an iconic device with an
exceptional user experience, and probably the first to deliver the complete web
experience on a mobile device. Mobile Gateway closes the main gap in its
functionality by connecting the iPhone to corporate Exchange mailboxes."
