Sprint today announced the expanded availability of NextMail, powered by Pacific DataVision, to all Sprint devices, including the new HTC EVO 4G.
NextMail allows mobile professionals to instantaneously send a recorded voice message to up to 50 e-mail addresses, or also send the voice message via text message to up to 50 mobile devices and receive a “Listen to” notification. The message can easily be sent with the push of a button (Direct Connect on a Nextel device, or Send on any Sprint or Nextel device). It is a quick and simple way to record, document and share information from the field to office colleagues -“ no more need for handwritten notes or thumb-typing on small keypads.
In addition, NextMail Professional (previously known as NextMail Locator) enhances the standard service by offering users the ability to include location information and pictures with a NextMail message. For example, first responders, inspectors and others can use this tool to document, validate and share the details involved in an incident, including its GPS location and interactive map, photos and provide their command centers with real-time situational awareness.
NextMail’s collaborative messaging features enable recipients to easily respond by voice to a voice, text or e-mail message, thereby allowing fast, seamless and unobtrusive two-way communication. When used as a workforce solution, the technology provides a way to significantly improve the lines of communications between large teams, including field representatives. Other powerful field force functionality includes mobile time and attendance reporting, appointment scheduling, customized mobile forms, job ticket and customer information management, and an advanced communications console, all improving the productivity and efficiency of the mobile worker.
NextMail is available for $7.50 per month per user and NextMail Professional is $19.99 per month per user.
