Momail arrives in India, scouts for 100,000 beta testers

August 26, 2008

Momail, the world's smallest mobile e-mail has launched its operations in India and is scouting for 100,000 beta testers, who can sign up at www.momail.in using the password momailrox.

The Momail offer is perfect for a market like India with an ever-increasing interest in mobile technology compared with a relatively low personal computer penetration.

Momail's service includes a full e-mail offering, and for many Indians, only having a mobile for their communication, Momail will be their first way to use e-mail including having their first email address.

For Indians already using e-mail, Momail can be the "mobile postman" collecting all existing e-mail accounts - including Hotmail, Gmail and Yahoo! and local ISP mail - into one super inbox on the mobile.

"We have had a lot of interest from India and now we are happy to offer Momail for free for a number of beta testers. Our plan is to open Momail for all Indians before Christmas, so soon all users with an email capable mobile will be able to enjoy the world's smallest, smartest and most cost-effective mobile email," says Roger Grönberg, CEO of Momail.

Ease of use
Momail is easy to start and to use, and there is no need for special client software or downloads. All e-mail and data settings are automatically configured by Momail.
