MMC Multiplied Media Corporation

Globe Telecom, a leading mobile telecom operator in the Philippines, and
UnoMobi, a division of Multiplied Media Corporation (TSX VENTURE:MMC) offering
emerging mobile messaging applications and value-added solutions, announced
today that Globe Telecom has launched Email-on-the-Go (EGO) to over 20 million
customers. EGO, based on UnoMobi's MyInboxNow application, offers consumers the
most advanced and easiest to use clientless push email service available on the
market today.


EGO is an email to SMS service that is available nationwide to all of Globe
Telecom's prepaid and post-paid subscribers on all mobile handset models. The
EGO push email service allows users to read, compose, reply and forward email
messages using their own SMS-capable mobile phones. The new EGO service will be
implemented in two stages. First, the SMS user interface will enable users to
enter simple SMS commands to retrieve, send and forward their email. Second,
users will be able to utilize a browser interface, granting them access to their
email, as well as attachments (Office, PDF, photo, audio, and video files) and
the ability to manage their accounts by clicking on embedded URL links. Several
other enhanced features will be available in forthcoming releases.


Key features of EGO include:



--  Clientless email to SMS solution for basic mobile phones 
--  Full email functionality enabling users to compose, read, reply,
    forward, delete, etc. 
--  Access to account management commands such as stop, resume, list,
    filter, block, etc. 
--  Supports up to 5 POP3, IMAP4 or Webmail mailboxes per device 



To bring the service to market, EGO was customized to meet the needs of the
Filipino mobile user. Multiplied Media will host the application as well as
integrate the solution into Globe Telecom's wireless network. 


"Today's mobile phones offer so many ways of communicating while on the move.
The Email-on-the-Go service provides a convenient and cost effective way for our
customers to stay connected and get their email, without using a smartphone,"
said Rina Azcuna-Siongco, VAS Head of Globe Telecom's Product and Service
Delivery Group. "Millions of customers will now have the ability to read and
reply to their emails using their mobile at a reasonable cost. Our
Email-on-the-Go service uses a robust platform and has the flexibility to add-in
services for a more fulfilling mobile experience." 


"Mobile email is no longer a luxury that is limited to the business user," said
Damon Miller, VP, Business Development, Multiplied Media. "Email-on-the-Go will
bring push email to the consumer mass market and generate additional value added
service revenue for Globe Telecom. We are excited to be partnered with Globe
Telecom for this opportunity in the Philippines." 


Email-on-the-Go Pricing and Availability

The EGO service is available to Globe Telecom users for PHP $2.50 per message.
Since the service is clientless and delivers email notifications and messages
via SMS, Globe's subscribers only have to subscribe to the service using their
phone via shortcode (2246) to begin receiving their POP, IMAP, or webmail
messages on their mobile phones.
