Whether for business or pleasure, checking e-mail is a part of the daily routine and a crucial part of staying connected. Alltel Wireless, America's largest wireless network, today announced that it is making e-mail easily accessible and more convenient with Alltel Mobile E-mail.

The Alltel Mobile E-mail application gives Alltel customers the ability to access their Web-based personal and work e-mail, contacts and calendar events from their Windows Mobile smartphones and other select Alltel handsets.
