LISTEN TO YOUR E-MAIL BY PHONE�FOR FREE!
With CoolMail�, you don�t even need your computer
GLENCOE, IL (June 8, 1998) �How many times have you missed an important
e-mail because you�ve been away from your computer or unable to get online?
Now
you can stay in touch wherever you are with Planetary Motion�s CoolMail, a
new service that lets you listen to your e-mail by phone�for free.
CoolMail, debuting today in the Chicagoland area, consolidates all your
e-mail accounts and then gives you access to messages from any or all of
them with a simple call from a car, a plane, a hotel or anywhere else you
find a phone. When there are
e-mail messages in your inbox, the service�s automated attendant will �read�
them to you, using state-of-the-art voice technology that converts text to
speech. With CoolMail, a person is no longer tied to a computer; all one
needs is a telephone.
"We developed CoolMail with the traveling sales and business executive in
mind, but we quickly found that almost everyone on the go would benefit from
this service," said Michael O'Roark, president of Planetary Motion. "Anyone
can use CoolMail. There are a lot of people who want to use e-mail, but
they don't have a computer handy or don�t want the headache of �lug and
plug� (lugging and plugging in your computer). With CoolMail, everything
is available over the phone - and it's free."
The benefits: maximum efficiency and availability. Even if you don�t have a
laptop or can�t find a place to plug yours in, you can handle your e-mail
messages from the road. That means you can react to new developments
immediately, stay competitive, and communicate with colleagues or customers
anytime, anywhere. It�s as simple as checking voice mail.
"CoolMail is the first automated system in the world that allows you to
dictate your messages, have them e-mailed as text and does it with total
accuracy," said Planetary Motion Chairman Robert D. Newman. "It also has
the ability to send stored documents, such as price lists, resumes and
product catalogs. Now that's real power."
CoolMail has allowed Robert Grosshandler, chief executive officer of
Evanston-based eyegive - a company devoted to helping people raise funds for
their favorite worthy cause through the Internet - to be more efficient.
"Using CoolMail has made my life much simpler and made me more
responsive to my customers and employees," Grosshandler said. "I no longer
worry about missing important e-mails, or taking my computer with me
everywhere I go. I use CoolMail whenever I'm away from the office."
Planetary Motion's CoolMail is available nationwide with local access
numbers in the Los Angeles, San Fransisco, Seattle, Dallas, Denver, Chicago,
Toronto, New York, Boston, Washinton DC, Atlanta, and Miami. Additional
local access numbers are opening everyday over the next few months.
