Vodafone is launching a service in Portugal that allows postcards to be posted anywhere in the world using a mobile phone. Vodafone customers can use their mobile phone to take photographs, add text and send it to the home of family and friends.
To use the service simply send a photograph by MMS to the number 1599, together with the name and address of the person who is to receive the postcard. Free text can also be added. Immediately after successful delivery of the Postcard, Customers will receive a message confirming the reception and the forwarding by post of the message to the indicated address.
Each Postcard will have the photograph printed on the front and the text on the back. The Postcards will be sent automatically and delivered by post in an envelope to guarantee confidentiality.
Up to the end of November delivery of the postcards will have the promotional price of just US$0.43 per postcard.
