A few years ago, people realized that it makes good personal and business sense to remain connected to the world no matter where they were, and the result was an explosion in the cellular phone industry. Today, people are beginning to realize that staying in touch means more than voice—it means having access to your electronic data, most frequently, electronic mail. However, wireless electronic data has usually meant two things—expense and trouble. RadioMail, the pioneering wireless data service company, wants to change all that through an innovative bundling package that promises to put you on the road at minimum expense and far less hassle.
The package, called RadioMail-Me, is a complete wireless solution that includes a subscription to the RadioMail service, RadioMail software for Windows, Macintosh, or HP Palmtop PCs, along with the new Megahertz AllPoints wireless PC Card. The package is aggressively priced at US $88 per month for the first year, after which the subscriber gets to keep the AllPoints wireless card and sees a reduction in the monthly subscription to a minimum of $39 a month. Using RadioMail-Me, you can send or receive up to 100 wireless messages (100,000 characters) per month for the basic subscription charge. Additional messages are $0.32 for each 1000 characters
There are several advantages to RadioMail-Me. Not only does the service offer seamless nationwide roaming in the United States at no extra charge, but there are no connect time fees. You remain in touch at all times and only pay for the information that you send and receive. In addition, messages are sent to you as they become available, assuming you are within range to receive it. Gone are the bothers of having to connect a cellular phone to your laptop just to dial in and check for email. And by bundling a complete solution, RadioMail has made it easier than ever to get everything up and running out-of-the-box.
