O2 broadband subscribers can now pick up email on their O2 mobile phones, as the operator looks at ways of converging services.
According to O2, the "Memova" technology works with any MMS-capable phone and allows subscribers to "mobilise" their O2 Broadband email accounts without having to install or configure email software on their mobile phones.
Memova also allows users to synchronise contacts, diary and task information between devices. Automatic updates are also routinely synchronised across all mobile and fixed-line services.
"The mobile email and synchronisation features are just some of the first steps we're taking to bring mobile and fixed-line communications services together for our subscribers," says Nick Hill, broadband online manager, O2.
"Our aim is to provide seamlessly integrated experiences across mobile and web. In this case, we have made it easy for our O2 Broadband users to access their email on the go via their mobile phone and access their contacts from anywhere."
"Our partnership with Critical Path has been crucial in helping O2 achieve these goals."
