Send e-mails without Net connection through ePostBS ICE Bureau Want to send an e-mail to someone who does not have access to a computer with an Internet connection? Send an 'ePost' instead. The department of posts on Thursday launched an innovative service which would allow the users the best of both the traditional system and the 'lightening fast' new mode of communication, e-mail. All one needs to do is: Log on to www.indiapost.org or www.nettlinx.com and get registered as a user. Then, using pre-paid cards, which have been launched as part of a pilot project in five states, messages can be sent to people in any corner of the country. Every post office will have its unique e-mail id as per its pin code where messages for people residing in the area will be downloaded, and delivered at their doorstep. Complete secrecy is ensured at each step and even the printed letters will not be allowed to be read by the postal department staff by having supervisory control. On registration, each user is allotted a unique identification code, using which mails can be sent from any location. The users can also use 200 designated e-post centres in five states where the service has been launched as a pilot project. But once a user is registered, he can send mails using his unique account number from any location in the world and an amount of Rs 10 per one page of message would be deducted from his pre-paid account. Launching the service, Union Communication Minister Ram Vilas Paswan said that many more such unique services would be launched soon. The pilot service was launched in collaboration with Hyderabad-based Internet service provider Nettlinx in the 200 post offices in the five states of Andhra Pradesh, Goa, Gujarat, Kerala and Maharashtra. "The service would soon be extended to other states and would be available in more than 5,000 post offices in the country," Paswan said. Powered by YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO READ:
