WebToGo‘s Messaging Competence
1. WebToGo vs. Blackberry.
I’d really like this Blackberry service, but I don’t
want to pay for another device.
Common sources of unwanted cost.
•
The Blackberry device itself costs – depending on the model –
from 250 to 300 EUR.
•
If you try to do this by using the software that comes with
your Bluetooth adapter, you’ll be surprised how difficult this
can be.
•
In fact, most people cannot be bothered to go through this
process and decide not to use Bluetooth AT ALL.
I’d really like this Blackberry service, but I don’t want
to pay for another device.
One PDA. One mobile phone. One solution to make it work.
If your Palm handheld, your Pocket and your mobile phone support Bluetooth, there is
no real need to get a Blackberry handheld. Our WebToGo Mobile Internet Solution
for PDAs keeps both devices connected. If you now enter “Get mail every five
minutes” in MailToGo for Palm OS or Pocket Outlook, your get your mails just as
frequently as you would in your office.
No need for an expensive Push Service.
Forget about paying extra for a push service. If you follow the steps above, your mail
account will be updated as often as you wish – with no extra penny involved.
No additional contracts required.
You can use your standard pre-pay card or post-pay contract with any GSM mobile
network operator.
And you get all of this for just…

2. Ever tried going online via a
Bluetooth phone?
I never managed to get a mobile connection to the
Internet via Bluetooth.
Common sources of trouble and inconvenience:
•
Before you can establish a connection via Bluetooth, you
need to configure your notebook and your mobile phone.
•
If you try to do this by using the software that comes with
your Bluetooth adapter, you’ll be surprised how difficult this
can be.
•
In fact, most people cannot be bothered to go through this
process and decide not to use Bluetooth AT ALL.
I never managed to get a mobile connection to the
Internet via Bluetooth.
Just get rid of that Bluetooth barrier.
You do not have to even touch the adapter software. Using WebToGo Mobile
Internet Solution for Laptop PCs, you are only two clicks away from pairing your
Bluetooth phone with your notebook. Then you are ready to use the Internet.
No expensive hardware required.
All you need is a standard Bluetooth adapter (i.e USB) that plugs into your laptop
plus a mobile phone that supports Bluetooth.
No additional contracts required.
You can use your standard pre-pay card or post-pay contract with any GSM mobile
network operator.

3. If your company uses different
operators and mobile phones, life can easily turn
into a nightmare.
Using the wireless Internet is too laborious for us
because we use various phone models and operators.
Common sources of trouble and unnecessary cost.
•
Most mobile Internet solutions supplied by operators and
hardware manufacturers only support a small number of
phone models and mobile data settings.
•
Therefore, your IT department needs to manually set up and
maintain all kinds of different mobile Internet configurations.
•
If your employees receive new phones or if any network
parameter changes, typically all mobile phones, PDAs, laptops
and software solutions have to be carefully adjusted.
Using the wireless Internet is too laborious for us
because we use various phone models and operators.
One solution that fits all. Easy to use by everybody.
The WebToGo Mobile Internet Solution for Laptop PCs and PDAs is installed
once and that is it. It works with 150 mobile networks worldwide and supports
over 100 mobile phone models from 16 manufacturers. All parameters are read
from our database. New phone models and new network parameters are added
regularly or are even recognised automatically. Your administrator has full control
over this database. It can be updated by your employees over the air any time.
No expensive hardware and no expensive modem cards required.
You may use any standard Laptop PC or PDA (Palm OS or Pocket PC compatible)
plus any standard mobile phone (connection via Bluetooth, IrDA or cable). UMTS
modem cards and mobile phones are supported as well but not a requirement.
No additional contracts required.
You can use your standard pre-pay card or post-pay contract with any GSM mobile
network operator.

WebToGo’s Content Optimisation Competence
4. See more and pay less for
mobile surfing on your
laptop PC and PDA and how to view large mail
attachments on the road.
Why does content optimisation do and why is it
important for my business?
Common sources of trouble and unwanted cost.
•
Downloading large mail attachments is time-consuming,
expensive and depending on their size may even be
impossible.
•
Surfing websites – especially those which contain lots of
images – can easily cost 2 EUR and more for just one site.
•
Ever tried surfing websites on the PDA that were not
designed for a PDA? You spend a long time waiting and after
that you cannot even see anything as the content is spread
all over the PDA display.
Why does content optimisation do and why is it
important for my business?
Read even large mail attachments while you’re away from your desk.
When you open up your company’s web mail account, just click on the doc or pdf
file that you would like to read. After a few seconds you’ll be able to see it converted into HTML – properly displayed on your laptop and PDA browser and at
a tiny fraction of the cost.
Save money and spend less time waiting.
Even during normal web-surfing WebToGo’s content optimisation technology saves
you up to 50% of your usual GPRS traffic and online time.
Have more fun with mobile surfing on your PDA.
If used with a PDA, complete websites are re-formatted for the displays of your
Pocket PC or Palm handheld device. Just compare it to the standard browser on
your PDA! Mobile surfing is finally fun and easy to use.

5. In the near future,
your broadband DSL connection
at home may be obsolete.
If I already have DSL at home, why would I ever
need UMTS?
Common sources of trouble and unwanted cost.
•
Nowadays, each individual has a fixed line telephone plus at
least one mobile phone plus DSL at home for surfing.
•
In addition to that you have to buy access points, WiFi
adapters and other bits of hardware.
•
To make things worse, you have to configure all the
hardware yourself – maybe you even have to pay people to
do it for you. And: For each of these services you pay a
monthly base fee plus connection fee.
If I already have DSL at home, why would I ever
need UMTS?
No additional hardware. Same user experience at home and on the road.
WebToGo Mobile Internet Solutions for Laptop PCs and PDAs seamlessly
connects your UMTS phone to your laptop PC, Pocket PC and Palm handheld –
whether you’re at home, on a business trip or on holiday.
One connection at home and on the road. No additional contracts.
True: DSL currently costs 10 times less than UMTS. On top of that, DSL is at least
three times faster. But: if you are on the road regularly and you do not necessarily
need 1 Mbit bandwidth, you may not want to bother with additional Internet
service at home. You can even save UMTS data volume by using our content
optimisation that comes with all WebToGo Mobile Internet Solutions.
Use the Internet all over the world. No additional hardware required.
In addition to that, no DSL service offers you one-click connectivity around the
world. With WebToGo, you have the same user experience – wherever you may
roam.

6. Are you sure you really
need the expensive services from
fixed line ISPs just to have instant
access to mail and web
services around the world?
If I really need to be accessible around the world,
why don’t I simply use a fixed line ISP?
Common sources of trouble and unwanted cost.
•
The set-up fees can be extremely high, the same applies to
online minutes and data volume.
•
Another service contract that may not be necessary. As these
companies do not charge per software license but through
time spent online or data volume, you usually get extremely
high minimum charges per month.
•
No stringent user experience as depending on the situation
you have to fiddle with fixed line and mobile connectivity.
If I really need to be accessible around the world,
why don’t I simply use a fixed line ISP?
Just one solution – and you’re done.
WebToGo Mobile Internet Solutions for Laptop PCs and PDAs provide
seamless access to the Internet at any location in the world with GSM/GPRS/
UMTS/W-LAN coverage. A connection to the Internet is established through your
mobile phone or through a W-LAN adapter of your laptop PC or PDA. 150 mobile
networks and 100 mobile phones from 16 manufacturers are stored in our
database which can be updated over the air at any time.
No additional contract. No monthly minimum charge.
When you use WebToGo, you establish a connection to the Internet with the
mobile phone you already own. Therefore, you do not need another contract with a
mobile operator, you just use the one you have already got! All you might have to
do is to add or change your data options if you use the mobile net regularly which
we are sure will be the case! Keep in mind: GPRS is just as quick as the fixed line
modem connection you may be used to when dialling in from a hotel room.

7. The myths about using smartphones.
If I really want to use the wireless Internet, isn’t it
better if I use a smartphone right away?
Common sources of trouble and unwanted cost.
•
Nearly all smartphones have a very limited battery life, some
do not even last for one entire working day. When the
battery gets older, matters get even worse.
•
Smartphones in general are expensive and lack important
functionalities of PDAs and have much smaller screens. In
many cases no touch screen which makes web-browsing
rather difficult.
•
Do you really always want to press a sandwich to your ear
when the phone rings? Why always carry around a heavy but
at the same time fragile brick that puts holes in your
pockets?
If I really want to use the wireless Internet, isn’t it
better if I use a smartphone right away?
Your PDA and your mobile phone won’ let you down.
With WebToGo Mobile Internet Solutions for PDAs you can hold on to the PDA
and mobile phone that you are already used to. Instead of running on one battery,
your PDA and mobile run on two. Usually mobile phone batteries last much longer,
so your important business contacts or friends don’t get a dead line when you run
out of power on your PDA. Moreover, when the phone rings, you can hold your
mobile phone to your ear – and not a bulky brick called smartphone.
Breathe new life into your PDA. Faster and cheaper mobile surfing.
If you use WebToGo, mobile surfing and mailing is much more fun – and cheaper
at the same time. Content optimisation saves you up to 50% of your GPRS data
traffic and online time. The WebToGo browser re-formats standard websites to
better suit the smaller screens of PDAs. Our SMS/Phone solution for Pocket PC
devices lets you send and receive mobile messages as well as dial directly from the
contacts stored in your PDA. MailToGo for Palm OS even lets you receive mails
that you can forward to your friends as SMS or MMS!

8. If you love sending SMS messages but
get blisters hacking them into your mobile phone and
if you also hate copying phone numbers from one
device to another, here’s your remedy.
I hate typing SMS messages on a tiny keypad and I ‘d like
to have all my contacts on one device – not on two or more.
Common sources of trouble and inconvenience.
•
Typing text messages on a numeric keypad is only for the
kids.
•
The tiny storage capacity of many mobile phones may force
you to delete your beloved short messages.
•
What if I have all my contacts stored in my PDA and don’t
want to copy all of them into my mobile phone manually?
I hate typing SMS messages on a tiny keypad and I ‘d like
to have all my contacts on one device – not on two or more.
A touchscreen makes all the difference.
If you want to get a message through to people who are constantly on the move,
there is no better than sending them an SMS text message. However, as
everybody knows, it can take ages to enter a message using the keypad of your
mobile phone. With a PDA, you can enter your text much more easily using either
the pen recognition or virtual keyboard on the PDAs touchscreen. With SMS
/Phone for Pocket PC you can store all SMS/MMS messages you ever received
on your PDA, it even lets you copy them on your PC at home.
Leave your contacts on one device. On your PDA.
When you use SMS/Phone for Pocket PC, you can ring all your contacts directly
from your PDA’s Pocket Outlook. You select a contact’s phone number, click on
“connect” and SMS/Phone for Pocket PC connects to your mobile phone and
dials the number for you. So if you sync your contacts regularly, you will always
have your important contacts stored securely on your PDA. Therefore, there is no
need to copy them manually onto your mobile phone.
And you get all of this for just…

9. One client for e-mail, another one for SMS
messages, a third one for MMS. And here’s another
one for sending faxes. Too many clients? We
completely agree!
l want to send e-mails, SMS and MMS messages and faxes
but I don’t want to pay for four different clients.
Common sources of trouble and inconvenience.
•
If you buy one client for four applications, you end up paying
four times as if you choose one client that covers all four
applications.
•
Even today, storage on PDAs is limited. So there is no need
to waste memory on unnecessary applications.
•
If you receive, say, an SMS and you’d like to forward it to a
fax and a mail recipient you would have to switch between
three applications.
l want to send e-mails, SMS and MMS messages and faxes
but I don’t want to pay for four different clients.
Save your money for more important things. Get one client – not four.
MailToGo for Palm OS provides you with mail, SMS, MMS and fax massaging
that is perfectly up to professional standard. So you can save the money you
would spend on the three other solutions and – maybe – spend it on our
WebToGo Mobile Internet Solutions for Palm OS to make mobile Internet
access even more convenient for you – not only at home, but everywhere in the
world.
Just one solution – and you’re done.
As covered in the previous example, it is much easier to write SMS and MMS
messages using a PDA. Using MailToGo, you can also store all SMS/MMS
messages you ever received on your PDA, it also lets you copy them on your PC at
home.You can also send and receive e-mails and forward mails to, say, a friend of
yours who still likes receiving faxes. You may also dial directly from your contacts
list without having to touch your mobile phone (depending on model).
