Microsoft Push

Microsoft Direct Push e-mail. A new lease of life for your Windows mobile device

Overview

You can now get real time access* to your company inbox, calendar, contacts and tasks with Microsoft Direct Push Email solution on our award winning Xda range and other Windows Mobile® devices.

 

No more dialling up or send/receiving manually, the email finds you wherever you are* on your mobile device at the same time as it hits your inbox at work.

 

Even better, often there’s no additional costs for new servers or IT equipment**. If your company has Microsoft Exchange 2003 then you’ve already got the IT infrastructure and capability with no further investment.


Why have it?

  • Get your email wherever you are* as soon as it arrives in your inbox without having to dial up or request it
  • Open attachments using mobile versions of Microsoft Word, Excel® and PowerPoint®. You can view and amend exactly like you do on your desktop
  • Keep up to date with your calendar and contacts, over the air synchronisation means you always have the latest view of where you are meant to be and quick access to your colleagues numbers and email addresses.
  • It’s easy to use. Anyone who uses a desktop or laptop will recognise the familiar look and feel of Microsoft Windows®.
  • It’s flexible. You can customise your settings so that you can either receive mail as soon as it is received or perhaps less often at certain times, useful if you don’t want to be disturbed outside working hours.
  • Make the most of your existing IT investment in Microsoft Exchange. If you’re using 2003 then you don’t need to pay out for extra IT equipment, you’re already compatible.


What do I need?

  • An O2 device with Windows Mobile®. Check out our award winning Xda range at www.o2.co.uk/xda
  • An O2 data tariff, see below for our recommended tariffs for use with Microsoft Direct Push Email
  • Microsoft Exchange 2003 Service Pack 2. You will need to enable wireless services on the server – here is a detailed deployment guide showing each step to get up and running

 

If you are using a previous version of Microsoft Exchange (such as 2000) then speak to your Microsoft Account Manager or IT partner to get an upgrade.



How much does it cost?

There are only two elements of cost involved**

  1. A subscription to an O2 data tariff
  2. The purchase of a Windows Mobile® device such as the O2 Xda range

 

O2 Data Tariffs for use with Microsoft Direct Push Email:

 

O2 has a range of data tariffs to suit all levels of usage of email and browsing. For the full listing please see www.o2.co.uk/datatariffs

 

We recommend these tariffs to use with Microsoft Direct Push Email:

 

Low/Occasional users – O2 Data 5.  Particularly suitable for email skimming   and occasional internet browsing on a smartphone such as Xda Graphite. From only £5 per month, when taken with an O2 voice tariff.

 

Standard users – O2 Data 20.  Including 20MB of data allows for about 60 emails per day, plus 1 or 2 attachments per week and 10 web pages per week (depending on size of emails sent/received and web page content) from £8.51 per month

 

High users – if you are out of the office a lot of the time, you might want to look at Data 250 at   £25.00 per month.   This gives you 250MB which should be ample for heavy email users and attachment downloads

 

Overage rates apply on all the above tariffs if you exceed the bundles described. For full charges please go to www.o2.co.uk/datatariffs

 

For groups of users, our Group Shared Data Bundles come into their own. They take away the hassle of having to predict data usage for each Microsoft Direct Push Email user. Just take one package and share all of the data bundle across everyone. For full details of these click here
