have been reluctant to adopt the iPhone because of its lack of support for the Microsoft Exchange platform. That's all changed, however, with the help of companies like Mpronto, which offers hosted exchange, hosted e-mail and managed e-mail services at extremely affordable rates. Mpronto is officially announcing that its exchange hosting services support both iPhone 2.0 and iPhone 3G.

With Mpronto's competitively priced e-mailbox rates, businesses of all sizes and scopes can now outsource their use of the Microsoft Exchange platform, using its tools, like real-time e-mail, contacts, calendar and more, to the fullest potential.

"Within its industry, Mpronto is known as a price leader that offers affordable services without compromising quality," says Octavio Diaz, COO of Mpronto. "We're able to do this because our parent company, Infolink, owns its own data center. This cuts out the 'middleman,' which drops the costs for our clients. In essence, we're covering the big costs so our customers don't have to."

Through Mpronto, "Hosted Exchange" costs $8.95 a month per e-mailbox. However, without this type of service, businesses are forced to decide if they can invest in approximately $20,000 for Microsoft Exchange start-up costs, and between $30 and $40 thousand annually for product IT management and support. For small businesses, funding for such a service is usually impossible. But with Mpronto providing inexpensive hosting through its own data company, exchange services like Microsoft Exchange are now attainable for small, medium-sized and large businesses alike.

"The costs associated with accessing and using many of today's latest, most popular technologies have held many small businesses back," Diaz says. "Hosted Exchange 'levels the playing field' by eliminating setup costs and providing a way for all customers and clients to use and benefit from the advantages that various e-mail platforms offer. We're excited to provide this newest service of Microsoft Exchange to those who have wanted to bring iPhone 2.0 and iPhone 3G into their businesses, but couldn't afford to do so until now."

Signing up with Mpronto is easy through its user-friendly website located at http://www.mpronto.com/. Additional customer benefits include:

Free Outlook 2007 Software
Free Virus and Spam Filtering
Free ActiveSync for Treo/PocketPC
Free Outlook Mobile Access; and
2GB of Mailbox Space.

Plus, Mpronto's Hosted Exchange service is fully compatible with Outlook 2003, Outlook 2007 and Macintosh.
