The Internet has become a primary source of information in just a few years, and e-mail communication has rapidly become second only to voice mail communication in fixed networks. But access to a network is lost when you leave your desk. Because of this, mobile Internet and data access are becoming increasingly integral parts of cellular operators' core strategies. They can also register and use all services from PDAs, notebook computers, or desktop computers using a cellular operator's Web site, and set personal filters to define their own urgency threshold. The ICSA platform offers a wide range of mobile services that can be combined and tailored to meet the needs of a specific operator, while keeping the benefits of a standardized system with generic interfaces.
Subscribers can send, receive, forward, and reply to e-mail directly on their existing mobile phone.
SIM Toolkit clients are also covered by this service. It also enables full reading, sending, and forwarding of e-mail messages, as well as attachment handling. This service provides access to a mailbox from an e-mail client, with the exception of mobile WebMail services. The user can, from the list of headers, choose smart forwarding, which enables the forwarding of mail to another recipient or fax without the need of prior downloading, as well as delete the mail from the server. This premium package provides a complete set of the services above, with the addition of Internet access.
