Meteor and Visto Deliver Mobile Email on Ireland’s Fastest Growing Network
Redwood City, Calif., March 20, 2007 – Visto Corporation, the leading global provider of secure and easy-to-use mobile email, today announced that Meteor, an Irish mobile service provider with the country’s fastest growing network, has launched Meteor Mobile Email, a convenient and affordable service designed to ignite mass-market adoption among small businesses and enterprises throughout the country.
Meteor has enjoyed unprecedented growth in recent years with roaming agreements as well as network coverage in 133 destinations worldwide. Partnering with Visto, Meteor offers a complete set of easy to use, secure and convenient mobile messaging services that liberate busy mobile professionals – making it easier to be more responsive whether you are at your computer or away from your desk. Because Meteor Mobile Email is available on cutting-edge mobile handsets including the Nokia E61 with flexible pricing options, today’s “on-the-go” professionals now have access to the devices and service plans that best suits their business and individual needs.
“The demand for mobile applications such as mobile email has been fueled by the increasingly mobile lifestyle of busy professionals,” said Conor Carmody, Director of Sales for Meteor. “The combination of our Visto-powered Meteor Mobile Email service with one of our sleek new handsets enables customers to conveniently access their desktops through their mobile phones for the productivity tools - email, contacts, calendaring and tasks – that keep both work and life in balance.”
Meteor Mobile Email features new setup capabilities that help users get up and running on mobile email in a matter of minutes. The service is available in two varieties: the Small Business Edition for 1-5 users and the Enterprise Edition, which is more appropriate for larger organisations of 5 or more users. Both versions include a comprehensive set of features that give mobile workers more control over their day, including:
True multiple mailbox management: empowers users to access personal email and a corporate mailbox on one device – and toggle back and forth between the two
Connection Schedule: allows users to define their mobile email schedule to minimize interruptions while maximizing productivity
Corporate directory search: enables users to access local and remote personal and corporate address lists
