About SINA.com.hk | PressRoom

Sina.com.hk 50MB SinaMail has been offered to the public since February this year and it is well received by the Internet users. In order to provide more creative and quality services to users, Sina.com.hk offers "Free Unified Messaging Service" powered by Accessyou.com to its subscribers. Subscribers can retrieve voicemail in addition to email using only a single mailbox.

In our everyday life, we pick up voicemail only from touch-tone phone. The operation of voice messages is not as easy as e-mail. We cannot backup for later retrieval, forward to friends and organize them into different folders. As the retrieval is limited to local phone, we have to make IDD calls to check and listen to voice messages while in overseas.

50MB SinaMail subscribers can now enjoy the convenience of retrieving voice message anywhere free at the same mailbox with which they are using to send and receive e-mails everyday. To activate this function, subscribers have to obtain a personal ID number at http://www.accessyou.com/partner/sina.htm. Then, their friends and relatives just dial a local service telephone number and input the subscriber's PIN to leave down a voice message. The voice message will be delivered instantly to 50MB Sinamail box. The voice message is in the form of a wave file attachment that can be played by a computer equipped with speaker. Listening to the voice message does not require additional software. As the subscribers has a massive 50MB storage capacity, subscribers will avoid the hassle of regularly deleting e-mails, while minimizing the chances of not receiving messages because storage space has reached its limits.

Just as massive as the SinaMail 50MB storage capacity, the maximum recording time of voice message is 3 minutes while ordinary recording limit is 1 minute. Available upon request, the recording limit can be extended to 10 minutes. Apart from extra long recording time, the number of voice messages are unlimited. 50MB SinaMail subscribers can receive as many as they like without worrying about storage limit. If you are a frequent IDD users, he or she will find this service not only cost-saving but also convenient to deliver your message in voice to friends and relatives in overseas.

Accessyou.com is Hong Kong's first unified messaging service and solution provider. Wilson Ip, Business development manager of Accessyou.com stated, "We are very pleased to provide 50MB SinaMail subscribers with such useful and creative service. The massive storage capacity, high speed connection and user-friendly interface of 50MB SinaMail is the only web-based e-mail suitable for receiving, handling and storing voice messages which have size large than ordinary text messages."
