September 24th, 2003
SAN JOSE, Calif., [Sep 24, 2003] – PocketMail Group Limited (ASX:PKT), a leading provider of value-priced world-wide mobile e-mail services, today announced that it will partner with Truckers Home Office (THO) to equip and provide mobile e-mail services to the trucking clients of THO.
PocketMail is a low-cost, easy-to-use, mobile e-mail service that enables users to send and receive e-mails, fast and reliably, using the handheld PocketMail Composer and virtually any telephone, including cell-phones and payphones. The cost is $99 (US) for a PocketMail Composer, with unlimited service available from as little as $9.95 per month.
Trucker's Home Office is a professional services organization specializing in providing services to truckers, including bookkeeping, the preparation of tax returns, and provision of tax advice.
"Our single biggest business issue is timely and cost effective communication with our trucking clients," said THO President and CEO, Paula Hudson. "Through PocketMail, and improved communication with our clients, we will be able to offer an even higher level of service and quality to our clients."
"Truckers are constantly on the go, and often difficult to reach. By putting PocketMail in the hands of truckers, THO will be able to reach and communicate with their clients more effectively" commented David Marchant, PocketMail Chief Executive.
"THO's trucking clients will also find that PocketMail is a great tool for keeping in touch with their families" added Marchant, "and they will be pleasantly surprised when they find they can use PocketMail to search for and access truck loads without using a laptop or a PC."
PocketMail recently announced a partnership with The Internet Truckstop to provide load-matching services for North American truckers, without using a laptop or a PC. Using PocketMail's handheld mobile e-mail device and their Internet Truckstop account, truckers can now quickly and easily search The Internet Truckstop's large database of truck loads, anytime, anywhere, using virtually any telephone including cellular and payphones.
PocketMail mobile e-mail is also available via the Web and on WAP enabled cellular phones.
The PocketMail Composer can be purchased from leading retailers like Interstate Connections through their retail stores in Petro Truck Stops and TA TravelCenters of America or direct from PocketMail either on-line at www.pocketmail.com or by phone, toll-free, at 1-877-362-4543.
