Peek Pronto upgrades many of the original Peek’s core features by adding real-time email delivery, faster performance, and text messaging. It also supports many corporate email accounts in addition to the main ISPs and webmail providers supported by the original Peek.
Still no contract, still affordable, Peek Pronto costs less than $100 and only $15/month.
