A communications accessory to do BackFlips over (continued)
FIGURE F
The PocketMail email interface is extremely intuitive and easy to use.
In addition to email, the PocketMail service also allows you to send faxes, shown in Figure G, at an extra cost of twenty-five cents per fax message sent to recipients in the continental US, and one dollar per fax message sent internationally. Faxes are sent just like regular emails, but instead of a domain name after the @ symbol, you put in the fax number.

You can also send faxes via the PocketMail service at an additional cost.
The bottom line: cheap and effective
While the PocketMail BackFlip isn't as sexy as Omnisky, a Palm VII, or a Qualcomm PDQ, it does what it says and it works -- all the time. And, unlike any of the previously mentioned wireless solutions, it's a hell of a lot cheaper. At $99 for the device and $9.95 per month for unlimited use and toll-free 800 number access, you're not going to go broke using it.
If you need to be able to retrieve your email from everywhere, and a wireless solution doesn't fit in your wallet, the PocketMail BackFlip is the ideal email access solution for your Palm device. We give it a big thumbs up!
