  What's new
 

SkyFile® Mail puts sea crew at the helm

SkyFile® Mail the latest update to its email service for crew members to use on board ship.

By eliminating a number of constraints typical of on-board communications systems, EX4U Telecom provides crew with greater flexibility and independence to call family and friends.

  • The MyMail feature enables crew to create a prepaid email account with personal username and password and use it on different ships. Our service is also the only to enable crew to do this on board ship rather than rely on an administrator or communications officer on shore.
  • SkyFile® Mail allows email attachments of all types and size (photographs or images). Large bills can be avoided by programming black & white lists so that the user receives emails only from known senders.
  • With SkyFile® Mail it is also to access webmail accounts, meaning that emails sent and received via this type of account while on board ship can also be consulted on shore.
The SkyFile® Mail messaging software can be used in prepaid mode with Inmarsat and Iridium mobile satellite terminals while on board ship.

Crew members buy fixed amounts of communications credit on a our Universal Card to make voice calls and send emails and text messages once the SkyFile® software is installed on the PC on board. The user pays only for the credit bought on the prepaid card.

Crew communications is such a crucial aspect for shipping companies today.
The new version includes features which provide crew members significantly greater control of their private communications as well as reduce the administrator's workload, and we really believe this will make a difference.
