T-Mobile offering BlackBerry webmail email push service from EUR 4.95 per month and now also targeting consumers with the practical email push service

It always was extremely practical – T-Mobile is now offering the convenient email push service at a particularly attractive option price: with the Black-Berry webmail service, emails are now sent automatically to cell phones from just EUR 4.95 per month. For particularly relaxed email and Internet communication, T-Mobile is offering the email push service in combination with the Relax XL rates packages or as an option package “All you can Mail” and “Mail & Surf” with the data options Data 5 and Data 30. And T-Mobile also has the latest BlackBerry devices to match: the handheld BlackBerry 7130 and other new BlackBerry-enabled cell phones like the Nokia E61. Anyone ordering the BlackBerry webmail service has a whole lot of Miles & More bonus miles waiting for them. For all those that do not only want to be kept up-to-date when they are on the go, but are also constantly on the go, T-Mobile is now offering the T-Mobile NaviGate navigation software for the BlackBerry 8700.

T-Mobile’s BlackBerry webmail service is the ideal solution for anyone that wants to have their emails with them at all times. With the email push sevice, emails from up to ten different email addresses are sent automatically to cell phones with almost no delay, making manual access and waiting times a thing of the past. BlackBerry webmail is already available from EUR 4.95 per month. T-Mobile customers in the Relax XL rates packages can simplify and modernize their mobile communication easily, as the data volumes required are already included with these rates. In addition to 50 free minutes for mobile calls to all networks, free weekend calls and a basic MobileTV service, Relax XL 50 already offers a 5 megabyte inclusive volume for a monthly price of EUR 24.

Relax and Telly customers can add BlackBerry webmail to their rate. For a monthly option price of EUR 9.95, they get BlackBerry webmail together with the data option Data 5 with an inclusive volume of 5 megabyte. That is enough for 2,500 emails of 2 kilobyte each.

In addition to favorable rates, T-Mobile is offering the perfect accompani-ment to the BlackBerry webmail service with the new BlackBerry 7130 and other new cell phones. The BlackBerry 7130 – a BlackBerry handheld with a classic cell-phone design – makes email communication particularly convenient. The innovative SureType function supports text input by automatically completing words. The large high-definition screen (240 x 260 pixels) with an automatic light adjustment feature makes it easier to read emails and attachments in poor lighting. T-Mobile is also launching other new Black-Berry-enabled phones during the coming weeks: The MDA Vario II enables high-speed data transmission via HSDPA and is ideally suited to web’n'walk Internet fun. The device has a full keyboard and an extra-large color screen – both of which make it especially easy to write long emails. The screen also serves as a convenient viewfinder with the integrated 2.1 megapixel camera. The Nokia E61 also boasts a full keyboard and is an impressive professional UMTS PDA phone. With the elegant SonyEricsson M600i, T-Mobile is presenting another new device with the email push function. The extensive features of the UMTS-enabled cell phone include a large touch screen.

Anyone opting for the BlackBerry webmail can also look forward to Miles & More bonus miles from Lufthansa’s bonus scheme. Every new Relax and Relax XL customer will receive 15,000 miles as a welcome special until September 30. Adding BlackBerry webmail means another 5,000 miles on top – a total of 20,000 bonus miles for take-off.

T-Mobile is offering BlackBerry 8700 users a very special new feature. The tried-and-true T-Mobile NaviGate navigation software can be downloaded for free. One of the many benefits of T-Mobile NaviGate is the dynamic route calculation that takes drivers around jams and diverts them to time-saving alternative routes when necessary. A real highlight is that there will be no additional charge for using the NaviGate route calculation feature until Sep-tember 30, 2006. Only the costs of data transmission by GPRS for the rate concerned are incurred.

A clear success for T-Mobile: Germany’s number 1 mobile communication company provided its customers and the many visitors to the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ matches with a vast range of top-quality mobile communication services. The network performance, both in the stadiums and the packed city centers and public viewing arenas, proved itself capable of managing the great surge in demand. One in three of the 3.2 million spectators were signed in to T-Mobile with their mobile phones while visiting a stadium. While the games were underway, some two million calls were made from the stadiums. During the 2006 FIFA World Cup™, more than one billion calls were made through T-Mobile’s mobile communication network, with up to three times as many calls made on the fan miles, in the stadiums and at traffic junctions on World Cup match days than on days when no matches were held.

All users of the German T-Mobile network benefit from the high quality of the infrastructure, meaning that T-Mobile’s extensive preparations for the sporting event of the year have paid off. The company consistently expanded the supply of mobile communications in the stadiums, cities and at important event locations. In order to ensure an ample supply of mobile communication in the stadiums, in the teams’ hotels and on the fan miles, T-Mobile set up 50 additional – mostly temporary – mobile communication stations in the run-up to the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ and expanded existing sites by around 500 mobile communication transmitters. To put this in perspective, it takes 50 mobile communication stations to supply a city like Kassel, with 200,000 inhabitants, with sufficient mobile communication. In order to provide sufficient capacity for data transfer via UMTS and HSDPA, T-Mobile activated a second frequency at more than 60 UMTS stations in the FIFA World Cup stadiums, thereby doubling their capacity. By upgrading some 10,000 existing UMTS network elements, T-Mobile enabled ultra-fast HSDPA data transfer across the country even before the FIFA World Cup.

For football fans, T-Mobile offered an extensive range of mobile information and entertainment services for the 2006 FIFA World Cup™. One particularly outstanding offer is the MobileTV service. This supplied live broadcasts of important games directly to mobile phones via UMTS streaming. The channel “T-Mobile 2006 FIFA World Cup™ Highlights” also offers summaries and expert analyses of all matches following the FIFA World Cup – made by PREMIERE. The MobileTV service was used for a total of more than 700,000 minutes. The top matches were those of the German national squad: The preliminary round game against Ecuador and the quarter-final match against Argentina. And web’n’walk also enabled football fans to follow every goal on their mobile phones, be it via the internet, in the multimedia portal “t-zones” or with MMS News and SMS News.

The offering aroused a great deal of interest among customers, causing the use of the GPRS, UMTS and WLAN-based data services to rise considerably during the 2006 FIFA World Cup™. The entire data volume transmitted via T-Mobile’s mobile communication network was significantly greater than in previous months, at almost 500 Gigabytes per day during the sporting event. Particular contributors to this increase were the MobileTV services, various news services, mobile internet access via UMTS/HSDPA and increased use of HotSpots.

Eleven percent more SMS messages and 18 percent more MMS messages were sent via the T-Mobile network compared to the usual daily figures.

T-Mobile supported the organizers of the 2006 FIFA World Cup™ with innovative mobile communication services. Among them was FIFA’s VIP chauffeur service with more than 1,300 vehicles, which was organized via Push to Talk, the walkie-talkie service from T-Mobile. Plus, over 200 members of the 2006 FIFA World CupTM organizing committee used modern BlackBerry® handhelds from T-Mobile for mobile e-mail communication and scheduling.
