Are Replying, getting next
part of Email or starting/stopping service using SMS charged ?
GooseBerry does not charge any amount for these features. However
since the SMS is sent to a short code, your service provider will
charge between Rs 1 to Rs 3 per SMS! We suggest you to use them
only when it justifies the cost while we are working on a
solution to save this unnecessary cost for you.
Top
-
Why am I charged premium
fees for SMS and not a regular SMS charge ?
This charging structure is decided by your operator. We
understand that this makes Replying to messages costlier, however
we decided to take this route to at least give our customers a
choice of replying when it makes sense for them. We are also
working parallely to find a solution wherein you need not pay any
special costs for sending these SMS. We will keep you intimating
of progress on this front.

-
Why should I use
GooseBerry and not GPRS based mobiles for fetching my Emails ?
Some of the possible reasons are :
-
GPRS is PULL based solution which means you will always
need to check yourself if there is a new Email, while GooseBerry
will push the Email to you.
-
GPRS will deliver ALL Emails in your inbox cluttering
it with messages you might not want at this moment, while in
GooseBerry you will only get Emails you are waiting for.
-
Most GPRS clients might download the complete Emails
including attachments which will be time consuming and might
even not be possible on your phone while GooseBerry will only
send you the body, subject, sender and attachment file name of
Emails and it will always be one SMS.
-
Last but not the least GooseBerry will work anywhere
your phone works in India while GPRS based phones will work only
where you have GPRS network available.
Top
-
My company Emails are
hosted inside a firewall and are not available on internet
without VPN ? How can I use GooseBerry ?
If you think that this might be a useful solution for you and
your colleagues, please Email us at corporate@GooseBerry.in
with the deciding authority in your company, we have special
corporate solutions that might be suitable in your case.
Top
-
Why do I need to use my
Email password to register ? Is it secure ?
Your Email password is required so that GooseBerry can contact
your Email provider to find if any new Emails have arrived and to
notify you of the same. We realize that this is a confidential
information. We have taken following steps to ensure that it is
protected securely.
-
Your Login, Registration and Account management happens
over HTTPS, which means it is difficult for any person to catch
this information from web. Your web Email login also uses the
same way to secure your information.
-
Your password is stored on our system in encrypted
format.
-
We ensure that even the encrypted information is stored
with utmost care and only a selected people have access to it.
As an alternative you can setup another Email address to which
you can forward the Emails from your original account and use the
new account to register in GooseBerry.
Of course you can change your Email password anytime and prevent
GooseBerry from accessing your account. You are in charge of your
Email accounts.
We are eager to do whatever we can to ensure your confidence in
GooseBerry, do send in your suggestions on what we can do to
achieve that by emailing at support@GooseBerry.in
