Imagine driving in the car, sitting in the airport, or relaxing on the beach, while listening to breaking news or viewing stock market changes in real time without using a computer or television. MailCall, a division of Great American Technologies, Inc., a start-up company based at the Enterprise Development Center (EDC) at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), now offers such a service using a cell phone.
"We've partnered with Investors Stock Daily, Inc.," said Mailcall Vice President of Business Development Vincent Sette, "to provide access to real time stock market news. At any time or anywhere using our service, a businessman, company executive, or others can check stock portfolios via telephone using Mailcall's exclusive web reader service." The program will be available only through I StockDaily (www.istockdaily.com) and Mailcall starting in November of 2005."We believe that our technology will change the way investors conduct business, schedules, even lives," added Sette. "We see this necessary and unique tool for companies involved with sporting events, weather, travel services and other consumer endeavors.
