Interstate Connections to sell PocketMail through its mobile electronic retail sales locations in Petro Truck Stops and TA Travel Centers of America
September 22nd, 2003
SAN JOSE, Calif. - PocketMail Group Limited (ASX:PKT), a leading provider of value-priced mobile e-mail services, today announced that Interstate Connections will add the PocketMail Composer handheld mobile e-mail device and service to the range of mobile electronics products it retails through its 65 (and rapidly growing) retail stores that it operates in Petro Truck Stops and TA Travel Centers of America.
Established in 2001, Interstate Connections has quickly become the leading supplier of mobile electronics in the over-the-road freight industry, and is a preferred dealer for multiple carriers including Sprint PCS, Dish Network, XM Radio, Sirius Radio, Wilson Electronics, PreCash and MoneyGram. Their success has come from putting motivated, knowledgeable and professional sales staff in front of travelers / truckers in high traffic locations.
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 a telephone.
"We are delighted that Interstate Connections has chosen to stock PocketMail throughout all their store locations, said PocketMail Chief Executive, David Marchant."
"“With their knowledgeable and professional staff and coast to coast retail network, they are ideal partners for us to reach the trucking and RV communities, two groups that have already embraced PocketMail’s easy-to-use and value-priced mobile e-mail service."
PocketMail recently announced a partnership with The Internet Truckstop to provide mobile load-matching services for North American truckers, without using a laptop or a PC. Using PocketMail’s handheld mobile e-mail device, the PocketMail Composer, and their Internet Truckstop account, truckers can now quickly and easily search The Internet Truckstop’s large database of truckloads, anytime, anywhere using virtually any phone.
PocketMail mobile e-mail is also available via the Web and on WAP enabled cellular phones.
Both PocketMail and Interstate Connections will be exhibiting at the Great American Trucking Show in Dallas, Texas, September 26-28, (PocketMail - Booth # 1186, Interstate Connections – Booth #1080).
