Business Mobile Email

Email is now an essential tool for almost all businesses. Keeping in touch with existing clients, receiving sales orders and enquiries, communicating between employees - its uses are endless.

Using a fixed computer in your office to receive these emails means that you can only collect them when someone is in the office sat in front of it, usually during office hours.

The advantages of email on your business mobiles include the ability to respond quicker, and the ability to work more flexibly.

1 in 5 customers expect a response to an email enquiry within 30 minutes, and 1 in 3 within 2 hours. Failing to respond to a sales enquiry within this time could mean that your competitors have already stepped in and secured the business.

If your employees commute by train or bus they can be dealing with their emails on the way into work. Extra hours of productivity for your business.

Flexible working has a number of other benefits for your business and your staff:

• staff retention and recruitment
• complying with legislation
• meeting customers needs

There are several options to help you get mobile email.

  Access your emails anywhere via your laptop with a USB modem. This option gives you the optimum email experience as your laptop is likely to have an excellent screen size and full QWERTY keyboard and be capable of handling all types of attachments easily.

  Utilising the 3G mobile phone networks you can send and receive at speeds of up to 7.2mbps. Excellent UK-wide coverage is available. If a laptop is a bit too bulky there are now netbooks which are smaller and can be fitted into a coat pocket.

  Most phones these days are manufactured with email clients included as standard. Exchange and POP3 are catered for and it's as easy as following a handful of steps to get set up.

  There are also tablet PCs, such as the iPad, which include mobile email as standard.
