Postcards Go High Tech


Innovative High-Tech company, PJ McKenna & Associates, proudly presents Australia's first ever Mobile phone to postcard service. The service gives camera phone owners the ability to send real-life postcards through Australia Post or overseas direct from their mobile phone.

Already an International hit, this is the first time MMS Postcards have been available to the Australian public.

With the new service people with a camera phone can send a Multimedia Message Service (MMS) message to an easy-to-remember number 0428 AU POST (0428 28 7678), which is set to recognise incoming MMS messages.

They attach a personal message to the photo they want to send and include the postal address, either local or overseas, where they want to send their postcard. The system does the rest. The photo is printed at super high quality and their postcard is posted to arrive withing a couple of days.

"Since 2004 camera phones have been outselling digital still cameras by almost 4 to 1" said McKenna. "With many camera phones now equipped with multi-megapixel cameras you can get great results sending a personalised postcard through the mail" said McKenna.

One of the great features of this Australian first system is its ability to accept MMS messages even from overseas. For example, a customer could be on a holiday in Europe and send a greeting back to family members in Australia. A traditional postcard would be mailed locally in Europe and it would take at least a week to arrive in Australia. However, the MMS Postcard reaches Australia in seconds and it is printed and delivered in just 2-3 days.

The system is end-user friendly and does not require any additional software to be installed on the phone. Also, it works with any carrier and any camera phone as long as the subscriber has Premium MMS activated. Billing happens conveniently and automatically through premium SMS service charges which are added directly to the customer’s next mobile phone bill.

  • For best results, make sure that the quality settings in your camera are set to the highest possible value.
  • Make sure that your phone is enabled for global roaming while traveling overseas. Contact your carrier for more information.
  • Some pre-paid plans may not be able to use the service due to premium service restrictions. Contact your carrier if you experience any problems.
  • Postcards are normally mailed the next business day and they are expected to arrive in 2-3 working days within Australia and in 5-10 days when delivered internationally.
