Chapter 4: Using TELKOM Ventus 
Mobile

TELKOM Ventus Mobile offers a full range of mobile office applications to 
help you keep up with your important emails, calendar and contacts. This 
chapter describes how to use TELKOM Ventus Mobile.

Starting the Ventus Mobile Application

Ventus Mobile starts automatically in the background when you switch 
your device on. Therefore, you do not have to do anything special to get 
it running.

Ventus Mobile is running if there is a packet data connection icon (GPRS 
or 3G) displayed on your device screen. You can also verify the status by 
opening the TELKOM Ventus Mobile application from 

Start> Programs

.

You can open your emails from the

 Start> Messaging

 menu. If you get 

to e.g. another inbox (text message, MMS etc) you can access your 
mails by pressing the folder selection menu (

). The TELKOM 

Ventus Mobile application is on the same level as your other messaging 
folders. Selecting the folder takes you to your inbox.
