Handisplay (M) Sdn. Bhd. is looking for Beta testers for its ground-breaking mobile email HandiMail.

"Malaysian users can even access their email at the same rates when they travel overseas with no roaming surcharge anywhere in the world."

(PRWEB) August 15, 2004 -- With HandiMail, users can get full text email capability by using their existing GSM-based cell phone. Unlike competing systems, HandiMail allows users to access all POP3 compliant as well as free Yahoo and Hotmail email systems and does not require any special equipment.

Users simply visit www.handimail.com.my and sign up with their account information and start receiving and sending email from their existing cell phones immediately.
    
With HandiMail, users have the option of being notified whenever new email is received, fetching email at their convenience, replying to and forwarding existing downloaded messages.

Pricing
Handisplay plans to price HandiMail very competitively, allowing users to read long email at a cost similar to SMS charges. Malaysian users can even access their email at the same rates when they travel overseas with no roaming surcharge anywhere in the world. Combined with no data charges or special equipment requirements, this makes HandiMail a truly universal mobile email system.
