Why Do You Need E-Mail Access?
Why would you be interested in getting email without a computer? E-mail can be beneficial in many ways:So Why Not Just Get a Computer?
Computers are wonderful devices and offer all kinds of great entertainment, information, and access to others. However, deciding to get one just for the purpose of being able to receive e-mail seems unwarranted with other options available.Certainly, a computer with internet access will provide much more than e-mail access but it can also bring unwanted expense and frustration that some older people will not welcome or use.
The HP Printing Mailbox and Presto Service: The Alternative
HP and Presto have combined to offer an attractive and affordable option for those who do not have a computer or internet access but still want the capability of receiving e-mail messages, photos, and other content.It's very simple and requires the customer receiving messages to do absolutely nothing to get their messages. The HP Printing Mailbox and Presto service are the perfect, simple combination.
Senders merely send e-mails as they typically do, to the Presto Service, and the HP Printing Mailbox on the other end prints it out for the receiver. With no effort at all the receiver gets email without a computer or internet connection.
Set up is easy too. Simply insert the print cartridge into the HP Printing Mailbox, plug it into a power outlet and an existing phone jack, slip the standard paper in, and the HP Printing Mailbox is ready. (a separate phone line is not needed)
