How does bixmail work?

It's very simple and fast:

You call our toll free number;

You identify yourself with speech recognition;

You tell bixmail to whom you wish to send your message (first and last name of a contact in your bixmail contact book);

At the tone, you leave your message and hang up when you are done;

Your message will immediately be sent to the addressee by email in an attached mp3 file.

Who is bixmail meant for?

Bixmail is meant for anyone and everyone. Bixmail’s main goal is to offer those on the road and on-the-go a mobile way to send e-mails.

The bixmail system can be used:

• to send an email safely, while driving.
• to send ideas and reminders to your own e-mail account.
• to send an e-mail when you’re not near a computer.
• to send an e-mail that would be better understood as a verbal dictation, then as a written message.
• to send a vocal message without bothering anyone, no matter how late (or early).
• to replace calling someone, in order to avoid having a lengthy conversation.
• as a contingency plan when you know that the person you want to reach is busy.
  

This feature is part of how bixmail has been custom built to enable those on the road the opportunity to e-mail safely, hands free and with eyes on the road.

• It’s non-intrusive, you might not want to interrupt or disturb the person.
• You simply want to inform someone, and don’t want any feedback.
• You don’t have the time for impromptu questions or conversation.
• You can send a message at any time, day or night.
• You want to keep a copy of the message and its content.
• You can send a message to several people at once.
• When you receive a message, you can view it, forward it, and archive it for future reference, easily.
• You can access your messages when most convenient for us.
• There are no long distance charges.

All of these reasons apply to e-mail and they also apply to bixmail! What singles out bixmail is that you don’t need a PC. You can be on the road, in the gym or about to fall asleep, and you can send bixmail messages easily without delay, and with minimal effort.

Why wouldn’t I just leave a message on their answering machine?

Voicemail is the result of a missed call. What if they’re in the office or available? What if they have an assistant or secretary? What if it’s the middle of the night and you risk waking them up? What if you know they’ll answer?

Sometimes, all you want to do is leave a message.

What is the "One-Click SMS Reply" that is offered by bixmail?

This is an incredibly handy feature. When you send a bixmail message, the receiver will have access to a link which will re-direct them to a text message window where they can reply directly to your bixmail! The message will be sent via SMS text messaging directly onto your cell phone, no matter the model! Not only will you be sending vocal e-mails while on the go, you'll be able to receive text message replies!

In order to set-up this feature, you'll need to configure your cell phone in the "My bixmail" section.

Also, go back into “My bixmail” and make sure the e-mail addresses you entered have been entered correctly.
