Do business on your iPhone with free email from Synchronica

TUNBRIDGE WELLS, UK: Owners of the Apple iPhone in the UK can now turn their new handset into a business phone by adding a secure, corporate email service free of charge with just a few clicks, thanks to Synchronica plc, the mobile synchronisation and device management company.

Synchronica is the only vendor offering a live solution allowing iPhone 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. Over 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 email.

By signing up for a free 60-day UK trial with Synchronica’s Mobile Gateway, owners of the Apple Smartphone can receive their corporate email 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 email 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 simply need to log on at Synchronica's Web site, register their iPhone with Synchronica’s Mobile Gateway, and start sending and receiving emails immediately. Following the expiry of the 60-day trial, users will be migrated to a commercially-supported service.
