Editorial Review:
Amazon.com Review:
If you'd like to send and receive e-mail but don't want to bother learning about or paying for a computer, the MailBug may be perfect for you. With the MailBug, checking your e-mail is a easy as pressing a single button.
To set up the MailBug, we connected the AC power and plugged in the telephone line cord. The MailBug's screen came to life and instructed us to press a button so that it could call a toll-free number to set the date and time. After setting the time, the MailBug informed us that we had new e-mail. Without checking the manual, we intuitively determined how to view, read, reply to, and later compose e-mail. (When you receive your MailBug, you must obtain an e-mail address and sign up for Landel Telecom's proprietary e-mail/Internet service by calling the customer support number included in the box. For more information, click on the FAQ in the left navigation bar, and see the question that asks "How does the MailBug e-mail service work?" Note that our test unit was preprogrammed with an e-mail address.)
The MailBug has 61 main keys, 8 function keys above the main keyboard, and 12 menu buttons next to the LCD screen. Typing on the full-size keyboard is fast and easy. The Shift keys and functions keys are conveniently placed and all the keys were responsive and comfortable as we typed our messages.
While browsing the onscreen menus, we discovered the Services function, which let us view headline news and look up stock quotes. We also located the built-in phone book, which allowed us to create and save names and phone numbers. The entire process was straightforward and intuitive.
Additional features include an e-mail address book and caller ID with a 100-call history and automatic "display and dial." A status LED blinks rapidly to indicate that the phone is ringing and blinks slowly to indicate new caller-ID calls or voice-mail messages. (A subscription to caller ID and voice mail is optional through your phone company.) The documentation, which is easy for novice users to understand, completely explains how to compose, send, receive, and manage e-mail.
If you don't want a PC but you do want to send and receive e-mail, the MailBug from Landel Telecom is an easy-to-use alternative.
Pros:
- Very easy to set up and use
- Comfortable keyboard for fast typing
- Requires no computer skills
Cons:
- Does not accept e-mail attachments
- Requires monthly subscription fee

I ordered this for my 82 year old mother who had previously been using a mailstation that quit connecting and for which 7 calls to a customer service group based in India was of no help. The box arrived with this machine in it. I had it out of the box, hooked up and working within 10 minutes, including the time to ... Read More

This is a great way for a senior citizen to communicate with her family when away. Love it.

Got the mailbug for a 90 year old family member who has poor hearing and trouble communicating by phone. It is much less expensive and easier to learn than a computer. If all you need is email this is a super solution.

I bought this for my only cousin who lives far away. Now I can talk to her anytime I want to! She also has made connections with old friends and some new ones too! She had NEVER used a computer or anything like it.
The instructions were simple. The fee to get it going is only $9.00 a month. She is absolutely ... Read More
