At the DEMO 2007 conference, TeleFlip has unveiled a new technology that allows all mobile phones to receive e-mails, calendar alerts and online content feeds such as news, weather, sports without any new software or application downloads. By visiting TeleFlip's Web site and inputting their mobile phone number and e-mail address, consumers will be able to use this free service to receive their e-mails from any e-mail account or service, personal or business, regardless of their wireless carrier or mobile handset.

"TeleFlip is revolutionizing mobile communications by bridging the Internet and mobile messaging networks," said Tony Davis, Chief Executive Officer, TeleFlip. "Now anyone, from soccer moms to CEOs, can stay connected to friends, family and colleagues regardless of their mobile handset or level of technical ability."

Consumers only need to enter once their mobile phone number, e-mail address and e-mail password on the TeleFlip Web site and then their e-mail messages will immediately flow from their e-mail box to their mobile device. No Internet connection is needed. TeleFlip users can even "reply" to e-mail messages directly from their mobile phones. The user-friendly TeleFlip technology eliminates the complexities associated with receiving e-mails through a carrier's network.

Benefits of the TeleFlip service include up to 5,000 free messages monthly, no new or expensive hardware or specialized service needed, no software download required, compatibility with all existing mobile handsets and wireless network providers. TeleFlip is compatible with all e-mail programs and services, allowing users to receive e-mails from any e-mail program (Microsoft Outlook, AOL, AppleMail, Microsoft Exchange, etc.) and any Web-based e-mail service (Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, MSN, Gmail, etc.) on their mobile device.

The TeleFlip service will be launched throughout the U.S., Canada and Western Europe in March 2007, and will be available here.
