Sri Lanka Telecom (SLT) Mobitel entered into a partnership with Google to introduce “M3 Apps”. With the launch of M3 Apps, all Mobitel customers will be entitled to register for a host of new services that will include a suite of communication and collaborative tools, offering among many other exciting features, an email address accessible via any network.

The new M3 Apps is a suite of services delivered on the strength of Mobitel’s latest 3.5G HSPA network and powered by Google.

The suite is developed and leveraged on Google’s versatile application - suite Google Apps. Similar to Google’s Google Calendar, Google Talk and Google Docs, M3 Apps users can manage their M3 Apps services via a web Browser, which means access to emails, calendars, docs and everything else, can be done from any part of the world on any type of device that offers access to the Internet.

M3mail which comes as part of M3 Apps offers novel features to make email more useful and offers protection using award-winning spam and virus filtering. M3Mail provides for powerful message searching and has in-built instant messaging.

It is accessible from any web browser and most mobile phones, and to top it all each account has up to 7.3 GB storage capacity.
