LIME has announced the introduction of Google Apps mail service to its Internet customers with LIME e-mail accounts.The telecommunication provider stated that the service is expected to be available by the end of this month.
As a means of preparing its customers for the move to Google, the telecoms company has been sending e-mail notifications and text messages to customers encouraging them to update their e-mail passwords. The company explained that this will help to ensure customers experience no downtime during or after the move to the Google environment.
"The introduction of Google Apps e-mail service allows us to provide our customers with the latest e-mail technology through Google's dynamic suite of communication applications," Dwight Williams, LIME's head of product performance, said in a press release.While customers' LIME e-mail addresses remain the same, the password upgrade is necessary to be compatible with Google's security requirements, Williams said.
