Mobile email from Rediff.com

Rediff.com on Wednesday launched ‘Rediffmail NG', the next generation email service that works across all mobile phone platforms including Symbian, Java and Android, as well as on all mobile phones in the market.

“India's 67-crore mobile phone users now have the advantage of being able to send and receive unlimited email, look up contacts and assign tasks to the calendar, and set reminders with the same ease from mobile devices as from their PC — and all for the lowest price available (Rs.50 a month, inclusive of data charges),” said Rediff.com India Chairman and CEO Ajit Balakrishnan.

Users of Rediffmail NG can maintain service upon switching phones which has become increasingly important with the introduction of new phone models on a continuous basis. Additionally, Rediffmail NG offers seamless service across a users phone and PC, providing instant and secure synchronisation, and full-service features including administrative control, SMS and always-on email service, he pointed out.

Pact with MTNL
Meanwhile, Rediff.com has also joined hands with Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. to offer email service on mobile phones.

The service is available for MTNL users in Delhi and Mumbai currently. The company is in talks with other telecom operators to expand the service.
