SEVEN Offers Consumers Fast and Easy Access to Mobile Email



    SEVEN, the global market leader in push email software, today
    announced the availability of its Consumer Edition push email
    solution. SEVEN's Consumer Edition is easy for consumers to use and
    its simplicity encourages consumers to continue using the solution. In
    the past six months, the solution has been launched with several major
    carriers around the world and subsequently subscriber growth has
    increased 50 percent, from 100,000 new subscribers in the second
    fiscal quarter of 2006 to 150,000 new subscribers in the fourth
    quarter.

    One-Click Access to Popular Internet Email Services

    SEVEN's Consumer Edition powers push email solutions for the
    world's leading wireless providers, including several tier one U.S.
    carriers, bringing mobile email access to the mass consumer market.
    The solution is available on today's most popular handsets, providing
    instant access to email on consumer centric clamshell and bar phones
    as well as on today's best-selling smartphones. Whatever the handset,
    accessed information is immediately available online and offline, so
    consumers can compose emails or review messages on the go, and will
    always be connected - bringing mobility to the email experience.

    SEVEN's Consumer Edition makes it easy for consumers to discover
    and access their email. The icon for the email solution can be found
    on the home screen of mobile phones when the solution is pre-loaded,
    or with just a few clicks of the keypad, making it as easy to access
    an email as it is to check a voicemail. The solution provides access
    to multiple email accounts with today's most popular Internet email
    providers as well as standard POP and IMAP services, so consumers can
    monitor emails from many sources on their mobile. Signing up for the
    service is easy. Users simply enter their email account username and
    password on their mobile device.

    Key features of SEVEN's Consumer Edition include:

    -- The ability to manage and navigate between multiple accounts
    simultaneously

    -- Automatically pushes new emails to mobile phones in real-time,
    providing consumers with fast and easy access to any updates
    or changes to their inbox, contacts or other email folders.

    -- Local storage of email on the device, allowing new email to be
    opened in a fraction of a second

    -- Read and reply to messages while outside data coverage, such
    as on an airplane, and save messages sending later.

    -- Truly connected experience, any activity done on a mobile
    phone, such as reading email, or sending new messages, is
    instantaneously reflected on the customer's email service

    Great Potential for Mobile Email

    Mobile email potential is globally ranked second only to SMS text
    messaging service, according to a major consumer survey commissioned
    by the GSM Association(1). In North America, respondents ranked mobile
    email above text messaging and mobile instant messaging in importance.
    As operators have begun including mobile email as part of standard
    data plans, mobile email is poised to become as prevalent as
    voicemail.

    "Bringing mobile email to everyone has always been a long-term
    goal with SEVEN," said Ross Bott, CEO of SEVEN. "Our Consumer Edition
    solution allows millions of consumers to access email on their phone.
    When mobile phones were first introduced to the market, the enterprise
    market and road warrior executives were the early adopters and helped
    push innovation to bring mobile phones to consumers. Now, enterprise
    customers have again cleared the way as we make mobile email a
    mainstream application for consumers."
