Ufone Launches UConnect

Today, Ufone has announced the launch of a very interesting service named UConnect. The service allows you to use your cellphone to control several activities on your PC. In addition to remote PC access the service combos Push-Email-over-SMS as well. It may sound a bit complex but in my initial experience I find the service very easy-to-use. No downloads and installation required on phone, no complex configurations, no issue of proxies and firewalls on your pc, in short, if you have data enabled phone, it’ll work just fine. Following is the list of main features of UConnect:

  • Remote file access: You can access the files on your PC remotely. No download required on your phone and it all works on the mobile-browser.
  • Remote access to your Outlook emails: Access your MS-Outlook emails on the go using the mobile-browser
  • PC control: Allows you to restart, shutdown, hibernate, sleep and log off your machine.
  • Multiple PC remote access: Above three features can be used on more than one PCs
  • Push Email: Sends you SMS and Wap-Push notifications for every incoming email and you can configure up to 5 email accounts with it. You can even use it on a non-smart phone.
  • 512 MB web-space: Each user will be allocated 512 MB space on the server.


How to subscribe?

Simply SMS SUB to 292 to sign up for the service.

How it works

  • You can access the service on the phone by visiting http://uconnect.ufone.com on their mobile browser. Once signed up you can login and configure push email from here.
  • You can download UConnect client software to be installed on your PC from http://uconnect.ufone.com that allows remote access on your phone.

Please download the user manual for further details.

Anticipation

I’ll come back on this blog with a detailed review of the product, its features and price later, but right now I’m really excited about this product. File sharing, remote file and PC access is something that has not been available earlier, at least as a VAS in Pakistan. Moreover, Push Email over SMS is a service that targets a big number of users and will help bring Email access to masses.

Please wait for the detailed review to follow.

    Hello! Important post. Thank you! Looks good to me. In my job, I am communicating mainly with email. I work with Outlook as my e-mail client and with the help of Email Sorter Wizard, an Outlook add-in, I get all my e-mail sorted. I am sure people will get great information from your blog.
