The user can have up to 10 personal email accounts and one business account for both Mail for Exchange and IBM Lotus Traveler.

On promotional plans for E72, Taneja told Telecom Yatra, “There are three legs to our plans. Firstly, a very big digital plan. Secondly, we have a large database of people using E71, so they are going to be a target group. Lastly we will push it with the corporates.”
