Pros: E-mail always at your fingertips Cons: Allows multiple accounts, but no privacy
I have a new toy. This toy is the greatest invention since the cordless vibrator. It's called the MailStation. It's made by a company called Cidco. I've never heard of them till now and I have no idea if they make any other products and I really don't...
Pros: Inexpensive, SO easy to use Cons: No access to the internet, cannot receive attachments
I love to travel, but one of the things I enjoy the least is not being able to keep in touch while I am away. I don't have the need to do a lot of 'work' while I am on vacation, but I do like to keep a journal. So while looking for the best solution, I...
Pros: Handy, Easy to use and carry around Cons: Smallish keys for big hands
This machine is a beauty! It's called the "Mailstation" by Cidco. It's overall design is very pleasing and it has a nice big fold-up screen, although it has no backlighting. It will work with either batteries or AC power. It still needs to...
Pros: Portable, easy to use, does what it's supposed to do Cons: Limited to e-mail only. A lighted screen would be nice.
I got this for my wife because she never quite felt comfortable with regular e-mail programs. The mail station is so simple that she has become an e-mail fiend.
Once you take it out of the box and call the 800 number for the simple set-up procedure,...
Pros: Small, cheap, durable, simple to use Cons: not enough connection numbers
Here is a basic, simple way to write email to your loved ones. This is MailStation. Its simple, plug it into a wall, write your email, and then send you email. It is literaly that simple. It is also so small It can fit into your pocket.
The Cidco people put a lot of thought into the design and it shows, as it has an easy to read graphical LCD screen with two different text display sizes, a spell checker, calculator, an address book, and an appointment calender. The Mailstation also has...
Pros: If you're lucky enough to have a local access number it's great.if not,it's VERY Expensive!!! Cons: POOR Customer Service!
Sure they seemed great a year ago when we purchased it. Now my parents who have a years use paid in advance will have a useless, expensive dust collector come April 30th. Since they live in a smaller town which has many other local access numbers for...
Pros: Lightweight, compact, and great for sending and receiving email when traveling Cons: No accessories available- no carrying case to protect the unit
If you enjoy email and are on the go, then this product is for you. I spend a lot of time in the hospital with my daughter and I also travel. Cidco's mailstation has become a great way to stay in touch with family and friends during these times. One...
Pros: Performs as advertised. Cons: No service or repair support.
I am dissatisfied with the Cidco Mailstation. I recently purchased a Mailstation for my daughter to use while starting her new job as a flight attendant. She had the misfortune of cracking the LCD screen and called me to inquire about getting it...
Pros: Machine easy to set up and use Cons: Earthlink is now the ISP. You get one national number and no local access numbers.
I bought the mailstation two days ago for my wife who wanted email but doesn't like using computers. I tried the free 7-day trial number that came with the machine and everything worked fine and my wife liked it. Then we registered with Earthlink which...
Pros: Perfect for techophobes Cons: Can't send pictures (yet)
I bought the Cidco Mailstation for my parents with mixed emotions. I have seen them suffer through VCRs and a satellite receiver system that took many weeks of training and STILL occasional brush-up courses. The Mailstation has turned out to be a BIG...
Pros: None -- without a working access number, the unit is worthless Cons: No access, no tech support, no customer service -- in short, it's useless
Check the other reviews of this product and you will see that they all date from 2000 or earlier. Since the summer of 2001, Cidco's service for the MailStation (or Mivo, as it's now called) has evaporated. In Jan. 2002, I bought one for my elderly...
Pros: Brilliant concept, easy to set-up and learn, inexpensive Cons: Unreliable sole source service provider, indifferent customer service
The Cidco MailStation is inexpensive, easy to set up and simple to learn and use. For people who are afraid of the complexities that come with a full blown PC and just want e-mail, this appeared to be the answer. I really can't fault the design of the...
Pros: Spell checker,large keys,able to fax,printer port Cons: Poor customer service,Cheap build quality
