Bonphire's Web-Based Email Version 4.8 is an email client that allows access to email messages from any Internet connection and includes features such as spam filtering, virus protection, and remote message retrieval. Web-Based Email also includes a light version of the email client that can be used with low-bandwidth connections, such as dialup.

Short Message Service (SMS) integration, also called text messaging service is a new feature which now lets subscribers to Bonphire’s Web-based Email instantly send text messages, as well as standard email. With the new texting feature in Bonphire’s Webmail, customers can give their thumbs a rest, not to mention save on all of the text messaging charges on your cell phone. All of this from your desktop!

Here’s how it works:  Bonphire customers can access their Web-based email accounts as they always have, but now a drop-down menu gives an option to select email only, text message only or both.  A simple cell phone field in the user’s address book drives the feature.  In addition, Bonphire includes a function that allows users to keep within the 160 character limit required by cell phone carriers for text messages.
