History of Western Union’s Mailgram Service:
Mailgram is a type of telegraphic message which was transmitted
electronically from the sender to a post office and then printed and delivered to the recipient
via postal means.
Western Union invented the Mailgram in 1970. Service via Westar, Western Union’s own communications
satellite was introduced in 1974.
The
advantage of a Mailgram over postal mail was speed and verifiability of
transmission; they were widely used in official notifications and legal
transactions. Their advantage over full-rate telegrams was lower cost while
still maintaining the look and feel of an important Western Union Telegram. The
Mailgram quickly became a widely-used medium for business-to-consumer
communications.
Western
Union discontinued all telegram messaging, including Mailgram, in 2006.
Electronic
Post Office Corporation will
launch its own version of Mailgram as a valued added service and product to its
very successful Facsimile Broadcasting, Email Broadcasting and Direct Mail line
of Services.
What
makes Electronic Post Office Mailgram new, exciting and cost effective is its
addition to the Electronic Post Office. Mailgram will be printed in every state
