PhoneMail

Identity linked email already works in closed systems today. For example, in colleges, your roll number is your email ID. PhoneMail takes the same proven idea and builds it into a single nationwide solution.

Most email IDs are created during phone setup, often without the user even realizing it. They exist mainly to enable Play Store access or app logins, not for what email was truly meant for: a secure, digital alternative to postal mail.

Email is a system and a globally recognized legal standard. It is built on open protocols and carries structured metadata that ensures traceability, auditability, and legal validity. This is precisely why governments and private institutions continue to rely on email even though the technology itself is decades old. Moreover, WhatsApp is designed for chatting, not for organizing or storing documents. PhoneMail is purpose built for document delivery, management, and cloud storage.

Your Gmail ID, e.g., 1234rajesh#@gmail.com, is self-created (unverified, doesn’t represent your identity), so the government, banks, and insurance companies won’t have it and cannot email you. But your phone number (identity-linked) is registered with them, so they can directly email the documents to it.

Gmail is built for the corporate world, focused on professional and formal communication such as client emails or student internship applications. PhoneMail is built for the people, treating email as the digital version of postal mail, for everyday, legal, and official documents.

Your phone number is already widely collected and registered by banks, retailers, e-commerce platforms, and other services. It's not that your phone number will be exposed by PhoneMail. And if spam were a concern, you would likely already be receiving it via WhatsApp or spam calls. Nonetheless, PhoneMail will include built-in spam control in its inbox.

This concern mainly arises in corporate settings. PhoneMail is designed as a citizen’s inbox, not a corporate one (PhoneMail isn’t here to replace your work email. It’s here to serve you as an individual). For most individuals, this is not a major concern, as their phone number is already widely shared and registered across multiple databases. However, if you want to use PhoneMail for corporate or professional purposes (for example, when displaying contact details on a website), PhoneMail offers an alias email ID option that lets users hide their phone number. It is important to note that even a CEO or a celebrity is ultimately a citizen and would require a citizen inbox for the receipt and storage of personal documents.

DigiLocker is narrow, storing only a few government issued documents. PhoneMail is broad. It is your single inbox for every document: tax orders, receipts, lab reports, and more. One platform. All documents.

Think of it like postal mail. You may own multiple houses, but mail goes to the address you live at. Similarly, PhoneMail delivers messages to the phone number registered with the relevant service provider or ministry database.

Yes. Log in from your laptop via our desktop app or on the web with a quick QR code scan. It works like WhatsApp in how you connect, but it is built on email standards.

All your documents are securely stored in the cloud. Just insert your SIM into your new phone and download PhoneMail, the number is auto detected, and everything is instantly restored.

At launch, you will enter basic details like your name. In the future, with telecom integration, PhoneMail will fetch your name, date of birth, and other details automatically using your mobile number. This makes setup automatic and instant, which will be especially useful for rural users.

During login, the app detects all active SIMs on the device and allows the user to select the phone number they wish to use for creating their email ID.
