Welcome to PhoneMail

PhoneMail is email where your mobile number is your email address. If your number is 98765 43210, your address is:

9876543210@phonemail.net

Anyone with any email account (Gmail, Outlook, a company mailbox) can write to that address, and you can write to theirs. Everyone you write to, on PhoneMail or elsewhere, shows up as one conversation in your list.

PhoneMail is a product by S. R. Jai Aditya.
