New cellular service

JAKARTA (JP): PT Telkomsel, one of the three operators of
Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), launched here
yesterday new services allowing its users to enjoy telecopy
service and on-line data communications.

A company director, Garuda Sugardo, said in his presentation
yesterday that one of the new services, called Veronica Faxmail,
will allow users to keep a facsimile massage in their voice-mail
service and retrieve the message when they locate a facsimile
machine.

He said the other service, called Farida, allows users to link
up with the Internet.

To use the Farida service, a subscriber needs to prepare a
laptop computer and a cellular modem from the Personal Computer
Memory Card International Association, which links the handset to
the computer.

Telkomsel also launched yesterday a special package offering
Nokia Communicator 9000, a handset and organizer. (icn)
