I hope people dont go broke trying to keep up with the BIS thing cos dey desperately want their mails to arrive on their phones or chat or facebooking etc. Methinks the mobile device rollout of all other blackberry competitors is even getting everyone worked up altogether.

I Use a Nokia 2650 and i always send and receive emails automatically, i am still waiting for anyone to convince me why i need to get any of these new smartphones  when i can get PocketBox for free -- a java app that allows me to do my emailing, chatting and sms at no gprs cost.   

You Could Check Out their website at  http://Pocketbox.nairangage.com   

and download for free works like nimbuzz or any other java mobile app

I downloaded PocketBox from their website and transferred it to my Nokia E71. It actually worked and spooled all my emails and even alerted me of a new one that arrived, so much  for a free app.


For the no gprs costs u mentioned, i cant actually confirm because i subscribe to Mtn's N1000 monthly  so i am always convered for d whole month anyway. I just want to say thanks for sharing this , i can even see they offer mobile sms to any network @N2. Its worth having.


I just want you to confirm  ,since you have been using it for a while, if there are any  hidden charges with this mobile application ?

how do i change the sound when new mail automatically arrives, its kind off quite loud ?

I really dont think there's a way to change the sound when a new mail arrives in your inbox. Your best bet is probably to reduce the  volume of your phone's speaker volume generally,  probably by changing the profile. But personally, I prefer it that audible so i get to know when i have a new mail. Wish they added vibration too.

TundeBash, you can uncheck the 'play this sound when a new mail arrives'  to reduce the sound alerts.

hope this can be use with SE phones

Seems this app is set to MTN as d default service provider. Seeing that i do not have d airtel manual settings, how do i set it to airtel? It's even suprisin cos i downloaded it using an airtel browser. Thanks

mcgboye , the settings you mentioned are for the MMS functionalilty of the app alone. The email and sms are global , i also am on the airtel network and i receive my mails realtime. The app isnt tied to any network.  Feedback mail reply from the website says they have completed MMS integration on/to  glo and airtel networks. So you could just replace the MMS settings with the ones of your provider and ur MMS is on too.

please can u guys show us a direct link to download this software.

cool

I think  someone on this thread should contact pocketbox, they need to provide publicity for this app. I did not pay for my BIS since mid December and i am not really missing it save for the BBM. Sometimes I find it Hard to believe this app is entirely free, all my mails online realtime and automatic notifications, i have turned My Nokia 5130 to my second mobile office. Cool

MeThinks  its best to always  view and see a mobile app on a website before downloading to your phone, just 2b certain u're good.

I  sent an email and my cv as an attachment from pocketbox on my Nokia 5130 to a careers email address. Is there a way i can check the contents of the attachment in my sent box.i am not too sure if it was my most recent CV i sent, i normally save it  on my memory card.   I can review the mails in the sent box but attachment is only showing an icon. Anyone?

Are U kidding me ? You assume your 5130 can display word documents. Well, i personally dont think a phone will ever replace a computer, at least not in the immediate feature. Its quite a task to want your phone to preview docs in sent Folder. PocketBox only shows that icon as an indication that an attachment was sent with the mail  . I suggest before you transfer to your memory card, you check that you have the current copy of your CV. Well its my opinion, you could email PocketBox on the feedback page  to know if u can?

can i subscribe for 100 units?
