Two major telecom providers of India, Tata Teleservices (TTSL) and Reliance Communications (RCom) have started a BlackBerry like “push mail” service which works by making use of SMS. The service will be available as a value-added service to customers across the network.

Push Mail service will be launched by both the operators in partnership with iseemedia,a Canadian software development company.

‘Push 4 All Mail’ by TTSL will help for Tata Indicom and Tata Docomo customers access Gmail, Hotmail or Yahoo emails on any type of handset through short messaging services, TTSL said in a statement.

As the service makes use of SMS, the need of high-end mobile phones is eliminated. If you mobile handset is capable of sending and receiving SMS, you can make use of this service.

TTSL users would be charged Rs 15 per month and 50 paise for every SMS sent. RCom on the other hand will offer email service at a subscription fees of Rs 30 and usage tariff of 50 paise per SMS sent.

Canadian firm, iseemedia will receive a percentage of revenue from every user transaction.
