London 26 May, 2005: 91% of people can, but do not know that they can send and receive personal email on their current mobile phone. To make it easier for them, Orange has redesigned and launched the ‘Email on the Move’ to make it incredibly easy for its customers to receive email on the move – wherever they are and whenever they want.



“The vast majority of customers don’t realise they can send and receive email using their existing handsets, assuming that it’s only PDA’s that can do it, and even those who are aware of it don’t know quite how simple it is,” said Tony Cuthbertson, Head of Multimedia Operations at Orange. “Once again, Orange is putting its customers first by making this as simple as possible to set up: just log on to the website, use our new ‘Email Selector’ system and we’ll guide you through the process. As long as your handset and email provider is compatible, there’s no need to change your tariff – and 100% of handsets now in Orange stores can accept email.”



So no longer will you have to hunt down the nearest internet café on those occasions when you just have to have access to your personal mail. When you’re out and about, away from your desk or need that extra bit of privacy from prying eyes, just grab your phone to:



· Discreetly check to see if you’ve landed that interview for a great new job without making your current employer suspicious!

· Never lose out on that vital eBay item again – check the current bids and stay one step ahead of the competition, especially in the crucial last few minutes before an auction closes.

· Check up on who’s checking you out! Find your soul mate and pick up your online dating details. You could even use email on the move to arrange your first date before you lose your bottle!

· Pick up those essential travel booking details you swore you wouldn’t forget this time, but inevitably did. Avoid the wrath of the check-in desk staff and never miss another plane or train.

· Catch up with friends while on the road – stay in touch by using your downtime to send an email when a phone call isn’t appropriate or you don’t have much time to talk.
